Growing up in North Dallas from the age of 9 through high school, I fondly remember the strong bond of family amongst fellow Texans and their fierce loyalty to their state. Hard-working, gritty, and proud, Texans really are tough people in the roughest of times. As Hurricane Harvey hit the south Texas shores this past weekend, Texas residents hit back with that “Don’t mess with Texas!” spirit and pride they are so well-known for.
