Crossing the state line doesn’t make you a Texan…but

​​​TEXAS - You can’t just cross the state line and call yourself a Texan.  Though membership cards aren’t handed out at the "Welcome to Texas" sign, there are certain traditions in the Lone Star State that can make you part of the unique culture. ​

Here are some of the 29 things the Houston Chronicle suggested to do before you can call yourself a Texan. 

Eat at Franklin Barbecue in Austin

Attend a Texas A&M or University of Texas football game

Make a pit stop at Buc-ee’s: 

Chicken S*** Bingo: The Big T Roadhouse, St. Hedwig. 

This isn’t your grandma’s bingo hall. The chicken feces decides what numbers are called.​​​

Show your creative side with a can of spray paint at Cadillac Ranch. The art installation has been there since the 70s.
