Pair in Miss S.A. controversy to compete at Miss Texas

The Alamo City has three contestants in this year's Miss Texas pageant, including two who were named Miss San Antonio 2011 amid the sensational legal court fight over the crown.
Domonique Ramirez, 17,Ashley Dixon , 21, and Selena Affram, 23, Miss Collegiate San Antonio, are slated to be among the 38 participants at the Miss Texas pageant June 28-July 1 at theUuniversity of Texas at Arlington , the pageant's web site said.
Earlier this year, theMiss Bexar County Organization revoked Ramirez's Miss San Antonio title over alleged insubordination and gave it to Dixon, her first runner-up. Ramirez sued, and a Bexar County jury gave her back the crown following a trial.
Local pageant officials named Dixon Miss Bexar County so she could also compete at Miss Texas, the web site shows.
The pageant's new board president,Linda Woods, inadvertently launched the case internationally after she told a local radio station that, while the pageant's concern about its queen's weight was a minor matter, Ramirez had been told during a bikini photo shoot to “get off the tacos.”
It also made headlines because the local pageant's executive director,Caroline Flores , had been convicted of health care fraud in the 1990s.
Two younger San Antonians,Caroline Carothers and Lydia Cash, will be among 41 contestants vying for the Miss Texas' Outstanding Teen title. Carothers is Miss San Antonio's Outstanding Teen 2011, and Cash is Miss Collegiate San Antonio's Outstanding Teen.
