Texas State Flower: Bluebonnet 
The Bluebonnet in Texas is not just the state flower...it's a pastime. The blooming of the bluebonnet is an event, and one you don't have to be a native to get excited about. The flowers are truely extraordiny. In April the hillsides are covered with them, and with people taking pictures in them. Every Texas-bred child has had at least one picture taken in the bluebonnets, and usually one for every springtime of their lives.
Texas State Soft Drink: DrPepper
Here a Dr. Pepper is a Dr. Pepper, and everything else is a coke...unless of course its...
Texas State Non-carbonated Drink: Iced Tea
It doesn't matter if it's 30 degrees and snowing, if you order tea it will come with ice in it. If you want hot tea, you better be specific.
Texas State Sport: Football
You have never known fanaticism until you see a group of Texans watching the superbowl. And the fanatacism over professional football is equalled by the fan-fare surrounding high school football. A school game can cause traffic jams. Whole communities not only know their school fight song, they know, sing along with, and can do the motions for ALL the school cheers. People will choose their children's school (high school mind you, or even junior high--we're not even talking about college here) by the quality of their football team. I've actually heard of someone moving to another town so that their son could have a better football coach.
Texas doesn't just have a football season--they have a football culture.
