Buda loses a familiar fellow

By Sahar Chmais

There’s one bar stool left open with a glass of red wine waiting; Buda resident and local gadfly T.J. Higginbotham died recently, and fellow barflies, gadflies and foodies are saddened.

Buda residents, those who have been around for decades, will recognize the name T.J. Higginbotham from his social visits and talks at bars and local stores. On Jan. 21, in his early 70s, Higginbotham died. The reason has not been announced, but word on the street says COVID-19 claimed another person.
