Sam has said:
…my family has deep roots in Texas. One of my ancestors was a surgeon at the Battle of San Jacinto with Sam Houston… It was always a thrill when we got [to El Paso, during his childhood]. My family was a fun bunch to be around. The women cooked great Mexican food. Every time we went to El Paso, we walked across the bridge to Juárez… My mother’s family, the Sparks family, grew up in a cabin with a dirt floor, but my mom said they never knew that they were poor. The Sparks girls were all beauties. My mother was a top athlete at UTEP in basketball, volleyball and tennis. The day after she graduated, my parents moved to Marfa and my sister was born there, but I was born in California.
