You don't just move here and immediately become a Texan; it takes training. This delightfully witty book takes you through the process of understanding our conversation, why and how we dress the way we do, why pickups are a fact of life, and how you can acquire the necessary big hair. Fixin' to Be Texan pokes gentle fun at the Texas mystique. Residents of the state will get a big kick out of Bryant's clever way of identifying our predominant characteristics. Newcomers will use it as a tool for understanding the wonderful and sometimes incomprehensible behavior of our fine native population.

Nobody knows more about Texas parties than Helen Bryant, veteran social scene reporter for the "Dallas Morning News". Helen gives the reader great hints on how to throw a party that people will talk about for years. And she throws in fabulous party recipes for all sorts of occasions. She does all of this with the same wonderful tongue-in-cheek humor that made her first book, "Fixin' to be Texan", a best-seller success story. Look at what people are saying: "Helen Bryant says Texans are a fun loving bunch who live big and party big and this wonderfully hilarious and lively book proves it. Texans will love this book, and party animals everywhere will surely shake their heads in awe and envy". Mike Cochran Author of "West Texas" "Helen has a wonderful eye for the ironic and a superb way with the English language. Over the years of covering the glitz and glamor of the Texas social set, she has created word pictures that are insightful, unfailing humorous, and in the process invented entire new streams of vernacular". Ron Chapman KLUV Radio 98.7 Dallas/Fort Worth "From inaugurations to goat ropings, Helen Bryant has covered every kind of party a Texan can throw. Her latest outing in print gives witty and sage advice to ensure that you don't get stuck drinking downstream from the herd". Alan Peppard Columnist, "The Dallas Morning News"

There are certain things every Texan should know how to do and say, whether your Lone Star roots reach all the way back to the 1836 Republic or you were just transplanted here yesterday. Some of these may be second nature to you, but others . . . well, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to have a few handy hints if, say, branding the herd or hosting a tamalada aren’t your usual pastimes. That’s where How to Be a Texan can help. In a friendly, lighthearted style, Andrea Valdez offers illustrated, easy-to-follow steps for dozens of authentic Texas activities and sayings. In no time, you’ll be talking like a Texan and dressing the part; hunting, fishing, and ranching; cooking your favorite Texas dishes; and dancing cumbia and two-step. You’ll learn how to take a proper bluebonnet photo and build a Día de los Muertos altar, and you’ll have a bucket list of all the places Texans should visit in their lifetime. Not only will you know how to do all these things, you’ll finish the book with a whole new appreciation for what it means to be a Texan and even more pride in saying “I’m from Texas” anywhere you wander in the world.

Some of the law officers who served the West during the last half of the nineteenth century drifted from one side of the law to the other and sold their talents to whichever side offered the most advantage. Others used their positions as cover for their criminal activities. The lawmen in this book were serious offenders against the laws they had at one time sworn to uphold. Their skills were honed in range wars and family feuds and polished along the cattle trails, in the saloons and banks, and on the trains of the West. Some of them did good work enforcing the law when that was their job. Others had equally successful careers on the other side of the law. More than one kicked out their lives at the end of ropes strung up by citizens who were outraged by their abuse of the trust that went along with the badge they wore. These are their stories.
