    I had to move away from Texas to take care of family. How much I miss it! I was born in Ft Worth, but grew up all over the USA due to my dad's job (aerospace industry). In my adult life I've spent years in Dallas, Houston and Austin. Probably what I like best about Texas is the attitude – especially the belief that ANYONE can "make it". Texans are very willing to give second chances to people that make mistakes. As long as a person understands where they went astray and can now look you straight in the eye and shake your hand, a Texan is willing to move forward. It is a land of opportunity for everyone. Thanks for the video!

    Everyone talks about brisket, and please make sure to have some, but don’t forget to have some chicken fried steak and cream gravy. Yum!
    Lime Star Cafe is one of the best places to get it.

    Please don't show Torchys as an example of breakfast tacos😢

    100% agree with how fast people in Texas drive. Made me laugh out loud to hear it mentioned.

    Not a shocking thing, but if you go to Texas make sure to get some Tex-Mex. Probably some of the best Mexican food in the US.

    Lived in Texas, the fire ants ruin about everything you do outside. My kids would get stung constantly. The beaches are meh, unless you go all the way to South Padre, the 'mountains' are meh, Piney woods are like alot of the south (but too many fire ants), the Hill country is really nice – Rio Frio, the Llanos, San Marcos. But relatively, it's a big state with a whole lot of nothin between a few places for tourists New Mexico or Utah is much more beautiful. The people where I was on the other hand were great, but at least 50% were from somewhere else. Comparatively, the restaurants no matter the kind had pretty good food. I even liked Whataburgers.

    DO NOT SHOP AT BUC-EES FOR ANY REASON especially if you're a trucker. You aren't welcome there, unless you're making a delivery. They are un-American and do not respect the values of Texas.

    DO NOT GO TO BUC-EES.

    Texas meh. Western Australia, one state, a casual 1730 miles across.

    Buckee's emphasized the cleanliness of their restrooms when they were launching. Thus, it became a guaranteed tinkle stop for travelling families. This put pressure on other roadside businesses to follow suit.
    Traveling from San Antonio to Houston we were going to stop at one, but there was a line of about 30 cars on the feeder road waiting to get into their massive parking lot. Most Buckee's have over 100 fuel pumps. We drove to a Shell station across the highway and pulled right up to a pump.

    I know the Beaumont to El Paso thing is used because it's an easier reference. From Brownville, about furthest south and Texline, all the way up northwest, is a hair under 1000 miles.

    And the breakfast taco debate is always an ongoing thing here. People will have great debates of who makes the best and where they are.

    I moved to Texas 3 months ago and I can't stand it here. This place sucks. I'm moving as soon as I can.

  • @puggynugz922

    I've been here 30 years and won't live anywhere else. We don't have a Buccees near us, but TXB (Texas Born) is like a baby Buccees, with excellent breakfast tacos.

    We drive fast because we have so far to go.

    Only one lake in Texas that is natural in east Texas. The rest are man-made

    As a 4th generation native Texan this video made me feel blessed that I grew up here and that I continue to live here. Like other places, it has its cons, but the pros sure out weigh them. Everyone is welcome here, just don’t “California” our Texas (to quote the latest bumper sticker) and we’ll all get along just fine.

    I truly wish that Americans loved America like Texans love Texas.

  • @snowpuppies1

    Don’t tell ppl to visit Whataburger when they come to Texas any more. They sold out and they’re A) not Texan any more and B) not very good any more.

    Just saw a glimpse of The Bishops Palace, Galveston. Love Texas and the people are great and friendly. Hoping to be a a winter Texan again this winter. Saw some places haven't been to yet. Texas is where I really began to have a look at Friday Night Lights.

    This came up as a suggested video. I first came to Texas 3 years ago and fell in love with the state and have now moved here from Illinois. I can definitely identify with everything you mentioned.

    Come to San Angelo and see our famous western real Fort Concho! Home of the Buffalo Soldiers!

    Being a senior citizen driving 120 mph here in Texas minutes later, State Trooper was behind me. I thought I ll be jailed or probably a five hundred dollars penalty….guess what?

    I am so glad Texans love Texas!
    Please stay there and please keep your politicians there too.

    December 3, 2023 at 9:07 am
  • @NelsonClick

    All true! Everything he said. There should be a sign as you enter the state, "Welcome to Texas – Here's your Breakfast Taco".

    Short on ramps…aka: 'Launch>>>Ramps'😁🤣😮🙈🤞

  • @livinginthenow

    Can anybody tell me what's going on with those two people in the background at 3:21? I'm not sure if she's trying to keep him from leaving or if he's trying abscond with her scooter. Either way, something henky is taking place.

    Thanks for the shout out! I’m from Corpus Christi, Texas, right on the coast!

    The best supermarket in the world is HEB. Period. I can’t wait until they open one close to me. I miss them but there are none in East Texas

  • @sonyavs455

    Aww, what a nice video! Native Texan here and yes, we are VERY proud of our state and want everybody else to love it, too. Glad you got the bug. 😁 Thanks for such a terrific overview. 👍✨

  • @lorece94

    Also, we don't say sodas in Texas. We say cokes. Even if you want a Dr Pepper, it's a coke. As in, "Please get me a Dr Pepper when you go to the coke machine." 😂

  • @cjskamen

    You need to slow down when you talk. I'm a Texan, and we can't listen that fast.

    December 3, 2023 at 9:07 am
  • @royveteto4134

    as a life long texan i will say that 1 way to really know the state is to go to small towns

    December 3, 2023 at 9:07 am
  • @arturoarambula2814

    Unless you drive through Houston in the middle of the night, good luck doing 12 hours across I10
