No matter where you go in the U.S., there is a certain association with saying "I am from Texas." Automatically people imagine cowboy boots, oil rigs, and George Strait, but you know Texas is so much more than that. If you relate to these you know you are from Texas. Although these are only a few ways to identify a true Texan, these are definitely some main ones.

1. Yearly Bluebonnet Pictures.

Every year since you were a little kid your mom has always made you take bluebonnet pictures. Now that you are older it is still a yearly routine.

2. Chips and Salsa.

No matter the time of day, you always pick a restaurant that serves chips and salsa.

3. Homecoming is a Big Deal.

Mums. Describing these massive things along with all the bells and whistles in middle school and high school to out of state people was always the most exhausting thing.

4. Whataburger.

It is nearly impossible to find one in any other state and when you do, you become like a kid on Christmas.

5. Texas Country Music.

Concerts are fun and all, but they are 10 times the fun with a Texas country artist and most definitely better at the Larry Joe Taylor Music Fest.

6. Bipolar Weather.

You can wear shorts and a tank one day, and the next be freezing under a bundle of clothes. Texas, make up your mind.

7. Dallas Cowboys.

Hate em’ or love em’, all eyes and talk will always be on the Cowboys.

8. BBQ.

No matter where you go, there will always be a long line at a BBQ restaurant.

9. Mountains and Beaches.

From West Texas Mountains to South Texas Beaches you can visit 5 different states in just our state.

10. State Fair.

You literally count down the days until you see BIG TEX again. Along with all the fried food.

11. Texan Pride.

We have an inherent sense of state pride. No other state will ever come close to compare with Texas. We Texans are a proud fold. We think of our state as its own little country and love it.

Although these are just a few ways to know someone is from Texas, they pretty much sums us Texans up. No matter where you go you never have to hide your Lone Star State pride.
