Whether you’re a born-and-bred Texan or just got here as fast as you could, there are a host of things you need to do and see in our great state before calling yourself a True Texan.

As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we’ve curated a list of adventures that’ll propel you to True Texan status. That’s why we’re launching a True Texas Adventures limited newsletter series that will guide you through each item. Over the course of 12 weeks, we’ll take you on a journey, exploring awe-inducing historical landmarks, iconic attractions, and must-do activities that define the state. Join us for the ride.
