I don't really look at Texas all that much. But my favorite had to be the Bank Of America, Houston. I also refered to it as the "Big Hand". It's one of the landmarks that helps me identify Houston in pics. I really need to pay more attention 2 Texen cities.

So many good choices. I really like all of them. Chase Tower & Fountain Place in Dallas, Williams Tower & Bank of America Center in Houston are really impressive.   I also like Pier One Place in Fort Worth, I would like to see it lit-up at night.

Fountain Place is astoundingly futuristic 20 yrs after completion and #1 for me.  Other personal favorites are BofA Dallas/Houston, Wells Fargo (Houston), and 1400 Smith Street (Houston).  I have high hopes for the U/C Victory/Mandarin Tower (Dallas).

What about BOA in San Antonio?  It is just shy of 400' but it looks great.

I think the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas is the best. I really like simple design.

But the BOA towers in both Houston and Dallas, along with Fountain Place, Heritage Plaza, and many, many others are up there as well.  :thumbsup:

The fountain place is a work of art, and hence has my vote.
