If Sam Stavinoha were a religious man, you might say the decision to buy a small-town grocery was his come-to-Jesus moment. He cried a lot, as if mourning a loss, though he couldn’t name it. This was in 2019, when the 29-year-old software engineer had a cushy job working remotely out of a San Antonio …
Taquerias are excellent at hiding. They’re often tucked away in ignored neighborhoods; they’re easily missed from your car or just outside of your peripheral vision. Azteca Taco House in Aldine, in unincorporated Harris County, along Houston’s northern border, is just as concealed, but that hasn’t stopped it from drawing long lines for its variety of …
Randal Ford remembers the first animal portrait he ever made. “Before I photographed any dogs or cats or tigers or lions,” he said, “I photographed a cow.”A graduate of Texas A&M, Ford fell in love with photography when he was a college student, two decades ago. “I shot stuff for the school paper, everything from …
Announcing the launch of a tip line for citizens who believe they are witnessing illegal electoral activity, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton penned a tongue twister. In a press release, he argued that the “significant growth of the noncitizen population in Texas and a pattern of partisan efforts to illegally weaponize voter registration and the …
Miranda Lambert grinned as she stood on the smallest stage she’s played in years. She’d just debuted an irreverent, rowdy hook—“Are we in love, or are we just drunk?” from “Bitch on the Sauce (Just Drunk)”—to the thrilled screams of 180 dedicated fans, who were mostly decked out in Miranda shirts, sparkles, fringe, or all …

Texas has known its share of colorful politicians. Among the most memorable are James E. “Pa” Ferguson and Miriam A. “Ma” Ferguson, who both served as governor of Texas in the early part of the twentieth century. Each made history along the way. (She was the first woman elected to the office; he was the …
A lungful of hydrogen sulfide nearly killed John Burba a few months into his first job in the West Texas oil patch. He’d grown up in the region, where his dad worked for Gulf Oil as a drilling superintendent. The encounter with the toxic gas left him with headaches for the better part of a …
Perhaps through a combination of sheer size and pioneer spirit, Texas, of all the states, seems to feature the highest concentration of truly absurd town names. About a year ago, I made a categorized list of some of the best, with food (Oatmeal), states of mind (Uncertain), concepts (Utopia), things (Telephone), names of other cities …
Two things happen when the guy sitting next to me floors the gas pedal of his $2.7 million car. First, the raspy growl of the 1,817-horsepower engine mutates from that of a cornered wolf to something even more feral and dangerous.
