MISS TEXAS!!!

Even when she was just a kid, Danae Couch, Miss Texas, knew what she wanted to be a lawyer when she ‘grew up’.

And in an interview given in the Texas Bar Journal in September 2012, Danae said pageants were a great “primer” for her legal career.
          “You are thrown into a new environment all of the time and you to think on your feet.  You also have to win people over and endear them to you.  I see closing arguments as being similar.  I think it is helping me hone my advocacy skills.”
 Something else Danae has enjoyed since she was a kid is twirling!  In fact Danae’s twirling career started at age 8 but her pageant career didn’t start until age 20.

And when Danae’s advocacy/interview skills combined with her twirling skills, she earned herself a Top 10 finish at Miss America!  Danae will return to law school this fall to finish her studies – and looks to use her law degree to be an advocate for others.

Now – on to this year’s Miss Texas Pageant!

Let’s start by saying… As easy as it was to list the front runners for Miss Texas last year (if you remember, there were 3 different women who had been named 1st runner up to Miss TX all competing in ’12) – it’s just THAT HARD to find the front-runners this year!  And – when you compete in Texas, you don’t even walk in the door unless you have a fabulous head-shot and a great prep team behind you!  Add all of this to the fact that there are 49 girls competing this year!  So – let’s just say, we wouldn’t be surprised if someone who’s not on our list wins the crown this year.  We did our best — but this is a tough pageant to pin down!  In light of all that…
