30 August 1969, Dallas (TX) Morning News, “About Cajun Cooking In Port Arthur Town” by Frank X. Tolbert, section A, pg. 17:
PORT ARTHUR is sometimes called “The Cajun Capital of Texas” because it hasso many inhabitants originally from the French-speaking parishes of southern Louisiana. Other day I was talking with a Cajun friend in “Port Ar-tour”, as he pronounces the name of his adopted home town.
   
4 February 1973, Dallas (TX) Morning News, “‘Dirty Rice’ Favored In Texas Cajun Town” by Frank X. Tolbert, section A, pg. 37:
PORT ARTHUR is sometimes ca;led “The Cajun Capital of Texas.” This is because so many thousands of folks of French descent from southwestern Louisiana have moved to this highly-industrialized Texas seaport. The first place I visited when I was in Port Arthur (or Po’ Ar-tour as the Cajuns call it) last Wednesday was an institution called Jedice’s French Market on 7th Street.
