    likely location
    A Fort Worth Star-Telegram writer says UT Austin won’t get the library because it is “in the Democrat-favoring liberal heartland of Texas where adopted homeboy of sorts Lyndon Johnson already has a library.”

    Baylor and Texas Tech won’t get the library because they can’t attract the necessary visitors.

    The writer says the likely location will be SMU, the “first lady’s alma mater.”
