Jarrell is hardly what I'd call East TX. About halfway between Georgetown and Belton, Central TX would be a more accurate description.

PermalinkI live in Williamson County. This is not East Texas.
I drive past Jarrell every time I tool up I-35 going to the 'Plex. At no time do I consider myself to be in East Texas.
