Five hundred bucks says Aztlanists were behind this, Rubystars.
Do you have a reason for reaching such a conclusion?
Apparently they have a suspect in custody:

As wildfires continue to rage across the parched hills of Central Texas, the news coming from the Bastrop Complex Fire on the morning of September 8, 2011, was enough to send local residents on an emotional roller coaster.
The Texas Forest Service announced firefighters achieved 30% containment on the Bastrop County Complex Fire. The Bastrop County Complex Fire, which started in the Lost Pines area on Sunday, September 4, 2011, was previously burning across 34,068 acres. Although it is 30% contained, it continues to burn intensely and out of control on more than $20,000 acres. Firefighters are using heavy airtankers, helicopters, and single-engine airtankers on the fire. A Southern Area Type I Incident Management Team is also assisting in managing the fire.
Here is a story of a White Nationalist Racist who set fires in Texas:
http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southcentral/2011/09/07/213915.htm
Steven Scott Cantrell, of Crane, Texas, pled guilty to hate crime charges stemming from a series of racially-motivated arsons in December 2010, including the arson of a historic African-American church as part of an effort to murder a disabled African-American man, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced.
Cantrell, 25, pleaded guilty to damaging religious property and interfering with housing rights in violation of federal hate crime laws before U.S. District Judge Robert A. Junell in federal court in Midland, Texas.
During the plea hearing, Cantrell admitted that on Dec. 28, 2010, he set fire to Faith in Christ Church, a predominantly African-American church, as part of an effort to murder a disabled African-American man who he saw passing by the church in his wheelchair.
Before starting the fire, Cantrell admitted that he intentionally attempted to kill the disabled African-American man whom he believed lived at a shelter within the church, and was present when he set the fire. The man was not hurt.
Cantrell ransacked the church, wrote a series of threatening and racist messages in large letters across the wall of the church next to the pastor’s office, and ‘tagged’ the church with references to the Aryan Brotherhood.
