On December 12, 2015 Sharleen and Tony took part in one of the Christmas special episodes of TFI Friday.

On January 6, 2015 Texas released ‘Start a Family’ as the first single from their greatest hits album ‘Texas 25″!

The video was directed by Julian Broad in the forests of Wales several days before Christmas’14 and in London featuring the late Alan Rickman several days after the New Years.

Sharleen Spiteri in the interview for Digital Spy on why they invited Alan to collaborate on the song:

"We did the original in New York and then we came back and we were like, it would be really interesting to do something... I mean, it's such a delicate song and it's quite emotional," she explained. "The song is all about roads and paths and choices and to know that there's someone who's always got your back although some people don't ever want to accept that, so it would probably be stronger if a man sang the second verse. I was like, 'What about if we got Alan to sing it?' I have always been mesmerised by Alan's voice. We did the 'In Demand' video in 2000 and we've remained friends ever since. So I phoned him up and was like, 'Do you fancy singing on a record?' He just burst out laughing and said, 'Darling, what do you mean? Sing? I could try.'"

"Originally he started singing it and it sounded great, but we had a singing version and spoken version," Spiteri continued. "When he spoke the lyrics it just seemed woah, and that's why we went with that. He's such a cool man. He's just an interesting, kind, lovely person and I'm very fond of him. He's never any hassle - he's either going to say yes or no."
