CHRIS CARSON/Special Contributor

Roger Staubach plans to remain active in his company after its sale. “I want to be part of the finest global real estate firm in the world,” he says.

The world of real estate has changed dramatically since 1971, when the 29-year-old Dallas Cowboys quarterback went to work for real estate legend Henry S. Miller Jr. to supplement his football salary. Mr. Staubach started his own company in 1977, brokering real estate the usual way: representing landlords and trying to find renters.

El Fenix's new owner to keep dishing out Tex-Mex

JUAN GARCIA/DMN

Alfred Martinez, son of the El Fenix founder, will stay on in the transition of the Tex-Mex chain’s ownership. The buyer is considering rooftop seating for the flagship, located in a hot spot of development on the edge of downtown.

Eating enchiladas, rice and beans is my family’s idea of comfort food. Having a signature frozen margarita is my occasional mental therapy. But after talking to the family, the buyer and the dealmaker, I’m feeling better.
