Tex's family: Who are they?

I've been wondering for a while now-- who are the people in the photos at Tex's office?

I've posted about it before, but there are no good answers. (but that has to be CJ/Tex at the far right in the first one)

And then there's the characters in Tex's universe, which is more complicated.

Tex's parents mailed him a Zebra, so they know where he is. This also raises the question: Do they know Tex has been eating dog food? What happened to Tex's siblings? Tex makes frequent references to family members, but they're not in his life. Was it ever explained why?

Hmm... could be something in the new game. Or not. :?
Maybe they're just production staff and friends put in as a favour like the Dag Horton stuff.
Also, the pictures in the D.H.'s office that included you... any stories behind those?

Chris & Aaron: The photos of Horton were with a couple buddies of mine who really wanted to be in video games. :-)

Cubase: Did they pay $500 for the privellage Aaron? lol

Chris & Aaron: Cub, they didn't pay me a dime! That's how good a friend I am. :-)

Definitely could be!
Chris & Aaron: You have no idea what kind of backstory you're going to get... ;-)
We're pretty sure you'll be blown away by some of the revelations we're going to, well, reveal.
Maybe a "Luke, I am your father!" twist. :lol:

I remembered this from the Ask Aaron section at the old forums:
15) Chris and I discussed the possibility of a story in which returns home for a family reunion and gets drawn into a case. We wanted his parents to be played by June Lockhart and Leslie Nielsen (both of whom were available to us!). We've also talked about some of Tex's siblings, one of whom is now a pirate.

Joilet: message from Chris:

I'm afraid I don't know who these people are - which speaks poorly of my private investigating skills.

They are probably more likely to be relations of the artists than of Tex.


Bummers.
OK, thanks Jen! ...wait, how did you get that message? :shock: Well, I guess you are the most mature and trustworthy person around here. :)

So, it shall forever remain a mystery. :|

How funny would it be for Elijah Witt to come back and really be Tex's father???
