Show off your independent streak today, Texans!

Today is the day to celebrate Texas.

Put out your flag. Grill a steak and wash it down with Shiner Bock. Listen to some Robert Earl Keen or Elida Reyna. See that new opera (yes, opera) called “The Hotel Casablanca.” It’s set in Texas.

Or the new look at Frontier Texas! where there is an all-day celebration and grand re-opening, so to speak, with a new exhibit and "twirling" buffalo high in the sky.

Do whatever it is that makes you proud to be a Texan, whether you’re a native or a Johnny Bob-come-lately.
