It’s incredible the number of famous celebrities or influential people that either call Texas home or have ties to the lone star state. Just this year we had Texans on both sides of the field when we were watching the Super Bowl. There are former U.S. Presidents, famous actors, and amazing musicians all from the great state of Texas. You never know who you are going to see, especially when you’re in a big city like Houston, Dallas, or Austin.  

It’s always fun to see some of your favorite athletes from your favorite Texas teams but at the same time you almost expect to see them at some point because they obviously play and live here too. But it’s still always exciting when you see someone who plays for the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Astors, Dallas Cowboys or any of the other awesome professional sports teams from Texas.
