About this title

Synopsis

Decode Texan culture with this humorous guide to the Lone Star State's unique history, language, and customs—perfect for confused "foreigners" from across America who need help understanding their distinctive neighbors whether moving to Texas.

The Lone Star state can seem like an enigma to those who have never had the pleasure of spending time there. Texans seem to walk differently, talk differently, and dress differently than any other people in the nation. Jay B Sauceda, a Texas native, understands the trouble that “foreigners” from New York to California have comprehendin’ their Texan neighbors. This funny and engaging primer on how to be a Texan will help you get a better handle on the unique Texas history, language, culture, customs, and do’s and don’ts—whether you’re movin’ there or just passin’ through.
