Answers:
"The main differences between Texas chili recipes and those other chili recipes is that "real" Texas chili has no beans and the main ingredient, after the meat, is chili peppers - whether chopped, diced, powdered, or liquified. Oh, and Texas chili just tastes better."

"As I hope we all know, chili was invented in San Antonio, Texas, about the middle of the Nineteenth Century. It began as a simple peasant stew using materials inexpensive and at hand. Meat, chile peppers, comino, oregano and garlic made up the first recipes. All the spices except the comino grow wild in South Texas. The comino was imported from the Canary Islands by settlers in San Antonio in the 1700's."

"This 'original' recipe may be traced back to that same range cook who planted his gardens across Texas in the early 1800s. And it may well have been the granddaddy of the blend that Frank and Jesse James were addicted to. Nobody will swear that it was the first true Texas chili recipe, but they all say it was close to it"

Other Answers:
Its not true. How ever some people prefer no beans and others like myself always add beans
That is what I have heard. Chili is sauce and meat. When you look at the cans in the store they say Chili with beans.
Chili - No beans
Chili Con Carne - Beans
A True texan believes that chili should have no beans because beans are fillers. If there are beans in your chili, then you're poor and the meat is probably not something you would want to eat.
Yes it is. Beans would have taken to long to cook over an open flame unless you were making beans in a hole.
It appears so.

Probably the first chili was buffalo stew with a variety of spices traditional in the SanAntonio area.

Since then, the 1700's, it has had ample time to develop.

BTW, chili con carne is a Mexican term for what Americans eat, chilis with meat. "Carne" means meat.

The link below seems to be a pretty good history from what I have been told.

First you have plain old chili.

Then you have chili con carne (chili with meat)

Then you have chili con carne y frijolies (chili with meat and beans)
