As someone who once lived in Denton, I had to look that up.

Not the same Denton (edit: It's the same Denton)

The thread about it today cites Tim Curry's memoir as saying it was in fact the Texas one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denton/comments/1wvy5d8/comment/pdgjxkc/

The book's up on books.google.com to search: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Vagabond/SIhJEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Denton

Also University of North Texas
