About Texas

Texas is known for their infamous statement that everything there is bigger and better. Texans are highly proud of their land and are highly protective of it. Many Texans are cowboys so it is difficult to miss people in cowboy boots and hats rocking that rancher lifestyle.

It’s a fun and somewhat rowdy state, where most bars play country western music and use beef as a staple on their menu. It is also a very patriotic state, with schools having students pledge daily both the United States and Texas flag, and they pay great respect to those who serve the country.
