    \n
  1. Forgetting The Alamo: <\/strong>Straight to the electric chair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Saying “you all” instead of “y’all”: <\/strong>Texans don’t take kindly to such commie nonsense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Stopping for gas anywhere other than Buc-ee’s: <\/strong>The legal definition in Texas of criminal insanity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Owning a vehicle with no truck bed and no dog in truck bed: <\/strong>Also, if the dog is one of those small, yappy dogs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Driving carefully in the rain: <\/strong>Right to death row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Failing to bow your head when a George Strait song comes on the radio: <\/strong>Show some respect!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Saying, “No thanks, I don’t feel like tacos tonight”: <\/strong>Firing squad, immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Forgetting the lyrics to “Deep In The Heart Of Texas”: <\/strong>No trial necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Refusing to acknowledge the superiority of Whataburger over all other fine-dining establishments: <\/strong>No Michelin chef can compete with a Double Meat Whataburger with cheese!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
