After traveling around Texas for competitions, camps, and other events, I have compiled a long list of things you MUST do to get the full Texan experience. To truly understand the Lone Star State, you have to sample legendary, slow-smoked brisket. For a taste of true cowboy culture, you can head over to Bucee's where everything is bigger! On hot summer days, locals love to paddle board in lakes. Everything has budget friendly options but check prices just in case; some are special treats (meaning expensive).
