Overview

"Anyone who knows anything about Texas can tell you that it's like no other U.S. state or even any other place in the world--even the official Texas Travel Guide claims that Texas is "". . . like a whole other country,"" and that's right. People who were born in Texas seem to stand a bit taller than those who weren't; people who have lived there even a miniscule amount of time consider themselves to be Texans, and the state embraces them too. People who visit Texas come away inspired, of having been in a place that's larger than life. Not just because it's a huge state, not just because Texas was its own republic, not just because of the six different flags that have flown over Texas--there's something more to Texas, something fantastically indefinable, something that author John Steinbeck referred to once as the ""Texas mystique."" He was right about that mystique; it's a part of anyone who has ever been there. Come along with me while we explore the anecdotes, short stories, and trivia that may explain in part the fascination we all have for this great state. Then come see Texas for yourself. Governor Rick Perry"
