Leftover Brisket Chili

We had a family reunion over Labor Day weekend. I smoked some briskets for the party, and due to the abundance of food at the event I had one brisket left over. I vacuum sealed it and put it in the freezer. This evening I dropped the bagged brisket in hot water and warmed it up, cubed it and made a chili. I normally like my chili with beans and big chunks of bell pepper and onion, but this time I decided to do more of a Texas style chili. It came out quite good, and yes the spoon is standing up in it on its own.

Since I haven't made many "Texas" style Chilies, I looked over recipes from here http://www.chilicookoff.com/Recipe/Recipe_WCCC_Recipes.asp?Cat=1 and made kind of an amalgam of a few of them along with some of my own additions. The main thing I picked up from most of those recipes is using a variety of different types of chili powder added ad varying times throughout the cook.
