    Being a "True Texan" has nothing to do with boots or clothing. It's about attitude.

    Not everyone born here is a "True Texan," nor do you have to be born here to be a "True Texan."
    Not everyone born here is a "True Texan, agreed
    nor do you have to be born here to be a "True Texan."
    disagree

    So if you are not born here, how can you be a true Texan? If you were born in Ireland can you claim to be mexican? (excuse the unline).

    Is Native Texan a term y’all may be looking for?

    I wouldn’t say something like being a “True Texan” as I wasn’t born here. Do I hold Texas values, I’d like to think so. I did make sure all my kids were born here to be Native Texans. And somehow my wife’s family let her marry a non-Native Texan.

    Nope, that was the other half of the equation.
    Lots of urban liberals born in Texas who don't have a clue about "true" Texas values. ;)

    No, it's the complete opposite. A "Native Texan" is someone who was born in Texas, a "True Texan" is someone who subscribes to the ethos that comes with being a Texan, whether they were born here or no!

    View attachment 157011 you just need the sticker.
    So I was told by several Native, True Texans that I was accepted. But, it’s still a title/honor I feel is difficult to fully accept. It’s like being part of a club/team that is #1 and you only joined the team right before winning the championship. I’ll take the win but don’t always feel fully justified in saying my being a part contributed.

    I’ve been given grief about proudly wearing a Texas flag on my flight suit. Mostly from folks who didn’t like being stationed in Texas or those that would say, “You’re not even from Texas.”

    I will say I feel proud when I can recite Texas history that some native Texans didn’t know.

    If you live in Texas, you're from Texas.
