School is almost out and it's going to be a great summer, especially if you are in the 4th right now. You are your family's ticket into national parks this summer and all you have to do is print out a pass, and get going to places like the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The whole family gets in free! Here's how it works.

We've got some good slang in Texas, y'all. In fact, "Y'all" combined with another pretty amazing made-up contraction helps Texas beat all other states for the best slang in the US.

All of our living former US Presidents will be in East Texas this weekend, at an event that will also include several bands with deep Texas roots. All of the proceeds from the show will go to the relief organization that was created by the Presidents after Hurricane Harvey.

Texas can brag about a lot of things, but not this.  Chicago has the most authentic, non-chain Mexican restaurants per capita, and other big cities in the US rank higher than places like San Antonio and Houston.  So what's the closest place to us, with the most authentic Mexican food?  A three-hour road trip will get you the best empanadas.

If you work at this Lufkin business, you work at one of the Top 10 places to work in the US.

Are you a fairweather soccer fan?  I'll admit it.  I am. I got really into the World Cup in 2006, and I watched again in 2010, and I'm trying to catch it now whenever I have some down time.  And I love it!  But I'll fairweather myself in another few weeks and quit watching soccer I'm sure.  Why do we do that?  The world is super-passionate about soccer, and that's fun to see.  Soccer unites people
