Skunks with Rabies in TX

Apparently there are records being set in Texas for skunks with Rabies.  According to news stories,
With three more confirmed rabies cases in June — two in Copperas Cove and one in Gatesville — 2013 is on pace to be the worst rabies season in Coryell County in more than a decade.
All but two of the 18 cases of rabies detected in animals involve skunks.  The rest, raccoons.

In unrelated Texas rabies news, a Guatemalan man in immigration custody died of rabies contracted before he reached the border.
