Mark your calendars. Tex will have a larger, higher base, which will be covered with Big Tex history. I’ll be interested to see how they cover the events of Oct. 19, 2012, aka “The Day That Will Live In Regional Renown.”
The new Big Tex design hasn’t been unveiled yet (other than his hands) but I expect it to look something like this.
