Dixie and her students saw most of their service around El Paso, Del Rio, Laredo, and the Borderplex.  Those border cities had large Texas Tech satellite campuses and she defended them with zeal.  Season Two was filmed onsite on and around the Laredo campus and was billed as being based on the real life fighting there.  The new co-star and love interest was based on several real Texas Guard liaisons who helped her, though the liaison itself was decidedly fictional.
