That's some good Photoshop.

The only pair of boots I've bought since then that I still don't have and wear is a pair of eel skin.
They were extremely soft and comfortable, but they didn't hold up to abuse.

I've bought countless pairs of working western style boots, mostly Red Wing's, in the interim. Wore the Luchesse's as dress boots, to go out in, and always onstage playing in bands until a couple of years ago.

... the latter mainly because they are still to this day the most comfortable boots I've owned.

Being a "True Texan" has nothing to do with boots or clothing. It's about attitude.

Not everyone born here is a "True Texan," nor do you have to be born here to be a "True Texan."

Not everyone born here is a "True Texan, agreed
nor do you have to be born here to be a "True Texan."[/QUOTE]disagree

So if you are not born here, how can you be a true Texan? If you were born in Ireland can you claim to be mexican? (excuse the unline).

Pretty sure what MMM was saying when he said you don't have be from Texas to be a "true" Texan:

Be pretty hard to say guys like Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, both not born in Texas, including many who fought and died at Goliad and at the Alamo were not from Texas, but do exemplify the "true Texas" spirit, if not downright set the bar to be a true Texan.

ETA: Sorry about the edit, but needed to get rid of the embedded mis-attribution due to previous post's quote not being complete.

Sorry, I don't subscribe to the current "self-identification" trends...

What I am talking about is that someone not born in Texas can move here and become a "True Texan" by adopting the principles and beliefs of the Lone Star State, i.e. a Texas "mindset."

That entails being proud of the state, its history and its accomplishments. Be friendly and kind to others until such time as they deserve otherwise, and taking no shit from anyone. Live and let live, as long as it doesn't interfere with others. Never walk away from defending what is right. Be a gentleman or a lady as appropriate. Never forget you live in the best state in the Union.

I am sure there are others, but that's a pretty good start!

Thanks, that does a much better job of explaining it than I could muster!
