How to Be a Texan

Whether you're from Texas or got here as fast as you could, everyone could use a few more handy hints on How to Be a Texan. Andrea Valdez, a native Houstonian and longtime editor at Texas Monthly, tackled the task, writing a manual full of illustrated, easy-to-follow steps for dozens of authentic Texas activities and sayings. It's fixin' to be published, so buy a copy to learn how to be the best Texan you can be.
