I lived in Texas from 1994 until 2011 or so - moved there when I was ten - and while I didn't really run around with a crowd that listened to much Tejano music, I have never once heard her mentioned.

Admittedly, her death took place before I was fully fluent in English - it's entirely possible that the wave of mourning had already ended by the time I would have really become cognizant of her.

Don't know what to tell you. I was living in San Diego at the time, and talk about her was everywhere. For years. And I'm not a Tejano music fan, it's just something you couldn't avoid if you lived/worked in the area.

That being said, I was already at the end of college/entering the workforce when she died, so like you said, I was probably at the right age to hear about it.

I can tell you than the last time I visited family in SD was last year, and there were still Selena posters/pictures/etc all over the place in the little corner stores.
