Texas!

Welcome to Texas!, A24’s hyper-local guidebook to the Lone Star State. Spanning over 600 pages and seven regions, Texas! is filled with the places and traditions beloved by the real-life Texans who live there: the cats that patrol the grounds at the Alamo; the drippin’ paint jobs on SLAB cars; and the festivals dedicated to everything from strawberries to mosquitos. Along the way you’ll learn how to survive a dust storm, butter your salsa, and dress for the country’s biggest Renaissance festival.

Texas! includes a series of contributions from local filmmakers and actors, excerpts from homegrown authors like Larry McMurtry and Jia Tolentino, archival and original photography, and illustrated gatefold maps. Cruise across hundreds of miles—from marshy birding preserves to red rock canyons, maybe stopping off for a raspa or game of chicken shit bingo somewhere in between—while somehow never leaving this one very singular state.
