One thing Texas is known for far and wide is its longhorn cattle. Several museums along the old cattle trails celebrate the tradition of the cattle drives of the late 1800s. Grazing cattle are still a common sight throughout the state.

Texas has culture, traditions, and sayings that are uniquely its own. Chains like Whataburger, Buc-ee's, and H-E-B are Texan businesses. Attractions like Schlitterbahn only exist in the Lone Star State.

March 2nd isn't only Texas Independence Day. Only one of the original five copies of the Texas Declaration of Independence remains.

Based upon the United States Declaration of Independence, the Texas Declaration also contains many memorable expressions of American political principles: "the right of trial by jury, that palladium of civil liberty, and only safe guarantee for the life, liberty, and property of the citizen."
