Yes = Valentine. There is much to read about the V1 versus all else but it seemed most were quite pleased with Valentine so I went with it. So far I love it. It is ultra sensitive, but it has filter modes (I'd rather have false alarms than miss the one bogey that happens to be hiding behind them).

Radar detectors are legal in all but one state and DC - AFAIK. So you're fine in Texas. The hardwire option helps the dash/wires issue and it really is a clean DIY. Mine is tucked up right next to the RVM.
