There is a famous saying that goes, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."  This is true.  However it is not unique.  For example, "Hell hath no fury like a Texas Mama whose babies are being messed with."

And I speak from experience having been raised by a Mama in Texas.

This is unbelievable video for anyone not from The Lone Star State.  Phyllis Pena was standing in her suburban Houston front yard when she noticed someone "peeping" in the window of her 15-year-old daughter.  I gotta tell  you I was stunned to find out her next move was to call the police and NOT to take things into her own hands, but that's what she did.

Well, the police arrived and were able to locate the individual.  However, he was able to evade the authorities and that's when Phyllis said, "Oh HELL NO!"  As you can clearly see in the police dash cam video, she makes a form tackle that every high school linebackers coach will be playing next year as an instructional video.

Another famous saying is, "Don't Mess With Texas."   We're going to amend this to "Don't Mess With A Texas Mama."
