I agree with zenie. Ride a cowboy! Definately bad manners if ya don't. I think it's tradition or summin.Also you have to do the whole cowboy thing......it'd be rude not to!
What's to do in Texas?

East Texas ain't much about cowboy culture though Fort Worth tries to keep up its rep as a cowtown.

Austin has the biggest urban bat colony in North America, 1.5 million I think. They come out from under the bridge every night (March to November), its quite a show (esp if you like bats). Also has a pretty good live music scene. San Antonio is cool too, quite quaint.

I have a few friends from Texas and they are among the friendliest, warmest people I know. They just introduced me to a shitload of other friendly, jolly Texans last weekend.
I'm actually quite keen to go to Austin - haven't been there in about 20 years.
If the Asylum Street Spankers aren't on tour, you MUST GO SEE THEM PERFORM!

Yup recommend this too - it's the least visited National Park in the US so you virtually get the place to yourself. You can take a raft trip down the Rio Grande too and wave at the Mexicans

Juarez is NASTY! and not very safe at the moment, if you get the chance go deeper into Mexico
Big Bend is good, so is Guadaloupe Mountain National Park (both about 10 hours drive)
Austin and the Hill Country are pleasant (self catering accommodation here
Houston's not so bad, I've been living here nearly 10 years. Dallas has Southfork Ranch and the Grassy Knoll
Forget Galveston, the water is brown and it's ugly with a few nice victorian buildings, much better to get south along the coast to South Padre Island.

I was near a place called plainview.
where we basically wrorked, eat out drank (even though we were in a dry county or was told it was dry anyhow.. didnt see much evidence of that though tbh) and shagged loads of girls who thought our scouse accents were cute
you probably dont really want to hear the last part of that though
texas is OK, sunbathe, beer and food (lots of and IME quite tasty) will probably be happening.

I loved the faded glamour of Galveston and had to go there for the song. You're right about better beaches though.

I found Texas to be extremely friendly, fun and Austin is wicked. Also the eating and shopping was ace.

I wish I could figure out where my accent would get me laid.
Mine will only get me a job if I go to the east or west coasts.
