Rodney Herrin grew up in Santa Fe, Texas, a small rural town south of Houston. Santa Fe is known for being the birthplace of country singer Johnny Lee (whose hit song "Lookin' for Love" was featured on the soundtrack for Urban Cowboy), the Supreme Court case regarding prayer in school from 2000, and the tragic school shooting at Santa Fe High School in May 2018.
Rodney had very little to do with any of those events.
