If It’s Made In Texas, It Can Be Found at Texas True
business, merchandise, retail,
From the Panhandle to the Gulf‚ from furniture to food – if it’s made in Texas‚ it can be found at Texas True.
The 6-year-old store on Highway 155 is aptly named: It’s devoted entirely to merchandise produced in the Long horn State.
“We honor Texas‚” says proprietor Teresa Farish. “It’s all about Texas pride.”
Merchandise ranges from small souvenirs depicting the state to sturdy pieces of Texas-sized furniture. Even the store’s T-shirts are homemade – all produced from 100 percent Texas-grown cotton.
Farish also works with the state’s plentiful collection of artists and artisans‚ commissioning one-of-a-kind pieces for her store.
Customers range from local folks intent on supporting the state’s artists and manufacturers to displaced Texans eager for a little taste of home. Farish regularly ships items throughout the world to former residents or those who just wish they were.
“They’re very intense‚ and they’re very loyal‚” Farish says of those far-flung customers. “We’re just filling that need.”
