Whether you want to move to the Lone Star State (who wouldn’t??) or just plan on visiting over the summer, there are a few necessary survival items and tips I should probably fill you in on before you come.
- Suncreen. Lots and lotsss of suncreen.

- A motor vehicle of some sort.

- Good air conditioning. Because we essentially live on the sun in the summer.

- An absolute infatuation with football, and a good TV to watch it on.

- Water, in some way, shape or form, and lots of it.

- A friendly attitude. We are the friendship state, and we definitely live up to our name.

- A map, or at least GPS. I’m not exaggerating when I say our state is HUGE.

- Bug spray. Just trust me on this one.
