Texas Monthly has a list already put together of things every Texan should accomplish. There are a few things on it that I really don't care to do and a few things NOT on it that I do want to do. So here is my version of the Texas Bucket List, based on Texas Monthly Magazine's. Highlighted are the things I have already done.
