Can vaguely understand the steel nuts hanging off the trailer hitch.
Still trying to figure out WTF that compensates for??

I have family in Mexico and they didn't understand that fashion trend either.

I'm American through and through, Washingtonian in my heart (What was Washington), but proud Texan in my mind.

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."

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).[/QUOTE]

Is Native Texan a term y’all may be looking for?

I wouldn’t say something like being a “True Texan” as I wasn’t born here. Do I hold Texas values, I’d like to think so. I did make sure all my kids were born here to be Native Texans. And somehow my wife’s family let her marry a non-Native Texan.

Nope, that was the other half of the equation.
Lots of urban liberals born in Texas who don't have a clue about "true" Texas values.

No, it's the complete opposite. A "Native Texan" is someone who was born in Texas, a "True Texan" is someone who subscribes to the ethos that comes with being a Texan, whether they were born here or no!

I wasn't born here and didn't move here until I was an adult. But I love and cherish Texas history. My daughters were born here and they will grow up knowing what makes the Republic so special.

I am proud to live here and I plan to die here. If that doesn't make me a true Texan then so be it.

you just need the sticker.

View attachment 157011 you just need the sticker.

So I was told by several Native, True Texans that I was accepted. But, it’s still a title/honor I feel is difficult to fully accept. It’s like being part of a club/team that is #1 and you only joined the team right before winning the championship. I’ll take the win but don’t always feel fully justified in saying my being a part contributed.

I’ve been given grief about proudly wearing a Texas flag on my flight suit. Mostly from folks who didn’t like being stationed in Texas or those that would say, “You’re not even from Texas.”

I will say I feel proud when I can recite Texas history that some native Texans didn’t know.

There are those who believe that we (TGT) can and will argue about anything and nothing - but I believe they are wrong.

Mighty spiffy! Can you scoot em around to some good Earnest Tubb songs?

If you live in Texas, you're from Texas.

If you live in Texas, you're from Texas.

Well, to play devil’s advocate to that point. Is everyone in America, an American?

I never said that if you live in Texas you're a Texan.
