How much attic insulation? R__??

I live an a 2 story home in the Houston area that was built in the late 60s. The attic is about 900sqft. It gets up to at least 130 in the attic during the summer. I've already seen temps over 100. How much insulation do I need? I had a guy come out to give an estimate the other day. He said R38. I was thinking more than that, but I don't know.

What says the braintrust?

How much do I need? R38, R50 or 60, R1000...?
