Whether you’re a believer or not, you should have a copy of this book. Before you get your feathers ruffled, you might consider the fact that western civilization was founded on the concepts contained in the Bible, and it played an undeniable role in the lives of Texans throughout the history of the Lone Star State. From a literary standpoint, you can’t possibly hope to fully appreciate the greatest novels, plays, and poems of the western world without at least a working knowledge of the King James Bible.

Sorry, but a tiny smart car on a long stretch of Texas road just looks out of place. And if you’ve ever driven down a muddy, unpaved road after a Texas rainstorm, you know that four-wheel drive is often a necessity in the Lone Star State, and that’s why owning a pickup is one of our must-haves. Slide behind the wheel of a pickup, and you’ll be wishing the West Texas highway was a Mobius strip, so you could ride it forever. The only downside? Everyone you know, including your cousin’s brother-in-law’s friend of a friend, will be asking you to help them move.

1. Land, land, and more land

Like the old saying goes, they aren’t making any more of it. Land is the number one thing every Texan should own. Now we’re not saying you have to own a massive ranch. You can start off small and work your way up, but owning land is the perfect way to establish strong roots for your Texas family and create a legacy that will be passed down to future generations.
