The "true" Texans that I know don't wear cowboy boots (or at least not often), rode to school on a horse ever, have shootin' irons (or not many, anyway), chew 'baccy, or can rope anything. They do have smiles on their faces, have lots of homey stories about family and friends when they were young, and are mighty friendly. A nice to place to hang your hat if you have one (no, I don't).

No cowboy hat?
And you don't ride to work on a horse? And your last name is not Ewing? Now I'm very disappointed, VR (I think I know, where you spent those 24 years, but I won't PORT..., er, post it
)
