Texas Monthly writers explore people and places at the intersections of identity, history, progress, and change.
Being Texan: A Texas Monthly Special airs Friday, October 24 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV and streaming live on the WXXI app.
Stories include the ghost town of Terlingua, the last surviving ninepin bowling alleys, a ranching industry under threat, the unexpected discovery of a rare type of coyote, a woman who overturned state braiding laws, and a mild-mannered librarian who fought to save the Big Thicket.
