No problem. This is normal DNS (domain) traffic. home.paulsen.org is asking the questions and ns3.texas.net is answering. Service is domain (port 53) and your host started the conversation using port 1476 as its source port. Source ports are chosen by the client and are not related to service except in special circumstances.
