This list of rules will apply to each person who enters the state of
Texas.

It's called a 'gravel road'. I drive a pickup truck because I need it.
No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus.
Drive it or get it out of the way.

We all started hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah,
we saw Bambi. We got over it.

Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your
butt kicked ... by our women.

Go ahead and bring your $800 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a
flathead breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for that little
13-inch trout you fish for... bait.

Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

If that cell phone rings while a flock of dove are coming in, we will
shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the
Knicks...and a dang sight more fun to watch.

No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it
rare.
Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham
and turkey. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two
packets of sugar and a long spoon.

You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice.

So you have a sixty-thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have
quarter-million-dollar cotton strippers that we drive three weeks a year.

Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when
it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks - because they want to. So,
you're a feminist. Isn't that cute?

Yeah, we eat catfish, carp, and crawdads. You really want sushi and caviar?
It's available at the bait shop.

They are pigs, cattle and oil wells. That's what they smell like. Get
over it. Don't like it? I-40 and I-10 go east and west; I-35 goes
north and south Pick one.

The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious
holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try
to understand the concept.

Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards - it spooks
the fish.

We have more Navy, Marines, Air Force and Army than any other state, so,
Don't Mess With Texas". If you do it will get your butt kicked by the best!

Our military is only used as a back up. Per capita, each man, woman and
child owns at least two firearms and has taken a NRA Certified Expert
Shooters Education Course.

Also remember what President Sam Houston once said, "Texas can make it
without the United States, but the United States cannot make it without
Texas."

    I have driven across Texas several times. It sure is a big state. I saw a lot of desert, saw a lot of cactus. It sure was hot. Why do human beings inhabit this state?

    You obviously have never been to the East Texas Piney Woods or the Central Texas Hill Country, or the sub tropical Rio Grande Valley, or the mountains that have been known to be capped in snow in West Texas during the winter. You are right, the state is huge, which lends to it quite a few different climates.

    We may argue between Ford, Chevy, and Dodge trucks, but not over the concept of "you have to have a truck". PS GMC's are considered Chevy's just like all soda'a are called cokes.

    Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!
