Texas culture

Texas culture encompasses the distinctive customs, values, attitudes, and traditions associated with the U.S. state of Texas.

It draws from cowboy and ranching heritage, Mexican and Tejano influences, Southern hospitality, and a strong sense of state pride that borders on nationalism.

Key elements include barbecue traditions, country and Tex-Mex music, high school football as community ritual, and an ethos of independence and self-reliance.

Texas culture runs deep in his family—they've been ranching there for five generations.
