Get ready — your state pride is about to get Texas-sized.

Armadillo

I'd like to think we have by far the cutest state animal.

Barbecue

Barbecues are one of the best things about living in Texas. Where else do smokers this big exist?!

Country music

An ice cold beer and some George Strait in our ears is all we really need to have a good time.

Dr Pepper

We guzzle this stuff like water. (If you think we're being grammatically incorrect when we spell it, you must not be from Texas.)

Enchanted Rock

One of the greatest natural wonders of our state, no doubt. The name originated from the Tonkawa Indians who believed they saw ghost fires and heard creaking sounds coming from the rock after a Spanish conquistador placed a spell on it.

Football

I don't think this one needs any elaboration. Football should be on every Texas A-Z list.

Guadalupe Peak

Guadalupe Peak is the highest peak in Texas, and a total stunner!

Hamilton Pool

Speaking of stunning, we have a magical grotto in our state. We're cooler than you.

Ice Cream

Specifically Blue Bell. Nothing else.

Janis Joplin

She'll always have a little piece of our hearts.

King Ranch

It's the largest ranch in the entire country and the birthplace of the Santa Gertrudis breed of cattle.

Lyndon B. Johnson

One of the most influential presidents in history was born right here in Texas. He definitely deserves this spot on our Texas history A-Z list.

Muddin'.

You aren't a true Texan until your tires have been covered in mud.

NASA

"Houston, we have a problem!"

Oil

Oil is a big deal here — and our bank accounts are happy about that!

Palo Duro Canyon

Being close to this natural wonder is one of our favorite parts about living in Texas.

Queso

Cheese is one of our main food groups.

Rodeo

It ain't Texas without some annual calf ropin' and horse ridin'.

Sweet tea

Your teeth may fall out, but it's totally worth it!

Tubing!

Every Texan knows that summer means it's time to head to the hill country and hop in a tube for a long float.

Universities

We're home to several major universities!

Venison

We love us some deer sausage.

Whataburger

It's the best fast food around. We don't care if you think otherwise.

X Marks the Spot

We have a lot of buried treasure in Texas, surprisingly. One of the most notable is the Lost San Saba Silver Mine, which was last seen on maps in 1829.

Y'all

It's a Texas thing and y'all wouldn't understand.

ZZ Top

Yeah, we're pretty proud that our state produced such a legend.
