Trivia
- Before entering medical school in the late 1970s, Deuell enjoyed a career as a professional drummer and played behind such disparate artists as Ike & Tina Turner and Bob Hope.

In addition, his appreciation for music is such that he is known as the “Senator for Texas Music” because of legislation authored such as Senate Resolution 292, which made March 3, 2005 “Bob Wills Day” at the Texas Capitol, and Senate Bill 1100 which would have created the "Texas Music History Tour" to promote Texas Tourism and the state's rich musical heritage.
- Deuell was inspired to enter public service by his great admiration for former President Ronald Reagan.
- Deuell's first introduction to elected office was as a member of the Greenville School Board.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
