[Texas] delivery of PyTexas survey

[Arthur Aguirre]

OK I will give this a review later in the day.  To reach students, I don't
see a problem with the method you're suggesting - this is commonly how
doctoral candidates recruit participants so it should be sufficient.  In
reality, the professors commonly forward the emails to their class list so
in the letter be sure to have a prepared email as if you were sending it
yourself; that is, make it so the profs don't have to do any work since that
will interfere with the overall success and survey hit rate.
