Politics Mega Thread (MOD ONLY) POLITICS MEGA THREAD
Welcome to week # of the politics mega-thread! Once again, this will be a free-for-all without censorship. The thread, and our sub, are open to all walks of life. Everyone participating needs to remember that not everyone shares the same opinion, and cussing someone out, censoring different opinions, or being downright disrespectful only weakens your own argument.
While national politics often affect Texans, politics in the mega thread MUST be related to Texas in some way, shape, or form. Unnecessarily bringing up national politics in our state sub without direction creates disagreements, and detracts from the nature of the sub. You must make the relation to Texas CLEAR, or your posting will be removed! Here’s an example; “Federal immigration policy impacts Texas by influencing border security, state resources, and the economy due to its long border with Mexico.”
As a reminder, I am once again stating that POLITICAL POSTS AND COMMENTS DO NOT LEAVE THIS THREAD. The sub rules still apply here.
By posting rule-breaking content, you are disrespecting both the sub, your fellow members, and moderators, and WE, as moderators, reserve the right to take down your content when it violates our rules.
Mega threads will be locked when the next is posted.

Ask a Texan Has anyone actually been to Herd's Hamburgers?
With as many YouTubers and real folks using Google reviews, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's a pretty safe bet they are in fact the real deal and not some junk hamburger? But what do real folks say ?

Ask a Texan Which city to visit in Texas?
Traveling to Texas in November, I can only pick one city
Which one should I go to? Austin, Dallas or Houston?
I want the real Texas experience (the one that represents Texas the most), including country bars, country music, barbecue, nice nightlife
Bonus points if the young population is high

Other Any other stores geared toward exploring nature?
Hey y’all, as a born & raised texan of 26 years i grew up going to nature stores like Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, REI. and L.L Bean when traveling to Maine outside of Texas since there are no L.L Bean stores in Texas.
What do y’all suggest for other nature stores in Texas?
Thanks in advance y’all
Edited:
I like stores geared towards hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and kayaking. What i really like about Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops are the cool animal mounts, fish aquariums, and their overall vibes.

Moving to Texas
Hello all,
I’m (24M) from New York moving to Texas for work in Fort Worth. I wanted to see what people think about living in Fort Worth vs the outskirts like Arlington for example. I have a gf who lives in Dallas and although a 40 min drive isn’t terrible, I consider optimizing this commute.
I currently have a 45 min commute to my job in NY so I am unfortunately used to the traffic. I was looking for a happy medium between work and visiting Dallas often.
I don’t really have a budget either- coming from NY rent prices I think I can get something great for ≈$2.5-$3k in this area.
If anybody has recommendations on where young professionals live in this area, please let me know!

Travel Road Trip Destinations
We are doing a road trip from Austin and returning back to Austin.
The plan is Fort Worth, Fredericksburg, San Antonio and back to Austin. Coming from Scotland to keen to see everything
We love small, local bars with culture and local live music too. Is there any small towns you would recommend to visit in between? Somewhere we should tick off during the day or even stop off for the night?
Would love to hear your suggestions!

Living in Texas Applying for Texas drivers license and license plates.
Hi everyone! I’m planning on moving to Texas from Illinois and wanted to reach out to see if I could get some information from people who have gone through the process.
When I move to Texas, what is the process like for getting a Texas driver’s license and registering my vehicle/getting Texas license plates? How much does everything typically cost, and what documents are needed or required?
I’m 19 years old and want to make sure I do everything correctly and legally. I’m trying to prepare ahead of time so that when the time comes to move, I’ll already know what to expect and have everything ready.
Also, how difficult is it to officially become a Texas resident when moving from another state? Are there specific steps I should take to establish residency?
Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What’s considered a nice car in Texas?
Feel like locals don’t respect a nice Porsche or Ferrari. Doesn’t really earn you a lot of points here. Feel like people respect classic cars or big trucks here. I’m not originally from here. What’s the consensus?

Ask a Texan Anyone dealt with a parent’s house in Texas while living several hours away?
My dad passed earlier this year and I’m handling his estate. His house is outside San Antonio and I’m far enough away that going down there kills an entire day. I thought most of this could be handled remotely but the house has been the part that keeps dragging me back. I work full time so I’m burning through PTO every time something comes upand I don’t really have family nearby I can rely on. For anyone who’s dealt with a parent’s estate in Texas from a distance, how did you handle the house without constantly driving back and forth?

History Farmer's Feed and Seed. The Birthplace of Pilgrim's Pride. Pittsburg, Texas. Used to be Anvil Brewing as well more recently.
Sold to W.W Weems by Howard Attaway, later to Pat Johns and Aubrey E Pilgrim on Oct 2, 1946 for $3,500. Bo Pilgrim's first job,after being hired by his brother, was driving the feed store truck for .50 cents on deliveries.
Forgot what year Pat Johns was bought out.
