About This Quiz

The great state of Texas conjures images of cowboys in 10-gallon hats riding the wild desert foothills. While cowboy culture definitely still dominates parts of Texas, it also shares the sprawling landscape with other cultural influences. In any Texas town, you’re as likely to see handmade tortilla shops as handmade cowboy boots. And cowboy boots are sported not only by the hardworking outdoorsmen hoping to avoid rattlesnake bites. They also appear at the foot of skinny jeans worn by ironic hipsters frequenting the live music scene. 

The Wild West of Texas symbolizes different things to different types. For oil producers, the Permian Basin in West Texas represents a gold mine to be plumbed and extracted to its utmost value. Others view the wilderness as a sacred jewel to protect and enjoy with light footsteps that leave no trace. 

From the borderlands to the Panhandle, those who live here know that Texas is home to an ever-increasing number of Latinos, spicing up the food and music culture and maintaining a focus on family and connection amid the booming Texas economy. 

Texas’s time-honored cowboy culture isn’t going anywhere. Hunting, ranching, and horseback riding will keep riding into the sunset. But the state is changing, with the big cities growing new crops of progressive-minded hippies who also claim land and set down roots.
