Phil Collins! Collins began collecting Alamo and Texas Revolution artifacts decades ago, after becoming fascinated with the Alamo as a child. In 2014, he donated his remarkable collection to the State of Texas. The state legislature then declared him an honorary Texan in 2015.🤠

Believe it or not, this was an anti-litter campaign in 1986. The campaign was launched when in the 1980’s, Texas spent around $20 million dollars a year cleaning up trash along the highways. The ad aired during the Cotton Bowl and the phrase quickly caught on. 🤠

IS BILLY THE KID BURIED IN TEXAS?

The accepted history says no.

But Hamilton County holds the grave of “Brushy Bill” Roberts, who died in 1950 claiming HE was Billy the Kid.

His claim was never conclusively proven. Billy’s recognized grave remains in Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
