His parents were originally from El Paso, Texas, and Elliott has an ancestor who served as a surgeon at the Battle of San Jacinto.[1][6][7]?
My great great grandfather has a "Citizen of Texas" marker on his grave provided by the State of Texas. That means he was a citizen here when Texas was a country from 1836-1845. I was born in Texas and have degrees from both Texas A&M and the University of Texas in Austin. I go dove hunting yearly with my fellow A&M Corps of Cadets friends from the late 60's, most of whom also served this country in the Vietnam War.
Sorry but that makes me more Texan than a guy born in Sacramento who's been in California or Oregon his entire life.
I'd be happy to send him one of those bumper stickers that say he was not born here but arrived as soon as he could.................................if only your "Texan" actually lived here instead of Malibu. LOL!?
You aren't winning this argument Mr. Logic.?
PS-he did however play an abusive wife killer in the miniseries Murder in Texas. Maybe that qualifies him as more Texan than me.?

Actually Sam Elliot’s first couple of movies he played a California beach bum and lifeguard. The truth is the western accent is acquired it’s not really natural. But he does do it great

My mother was born in Cobh Ireland. That does not make me a survivor of the titanic.

his mustache gives me the win. He IS Texas. and he WEARS the hat. At least in movies. I still win. and HE can ride a horse. Having said that, the two times I rode a horse... I came home from basic training on leave, and hopped on my sister's horse in this big indoor rink, after her and her friends kept taking turns having the horse go around in circles on a long lead, and finally decided to have me hold the lead while they ran to the bathroom. Next thing I knew, old Cloud was bucking like a wild buffalo, and I lost out, went flying through the air, and hit horse poop and a bunch of sawdust. So, those girls were laughing themselves silly, and I found out her new horse wasn't broken. It only knew how to go around in circles.
the second time, we were vacationing with close friends, and we all went trail riding in Tenn. Except my horse freaked after slipping on the mud, stopped, and the horse behind me, my Wife's bumped us, and my horse took off like a bat out of hell down the hill, dodging trees, slipping in more mud, and I got her stopped down in the ravine. Didn't fall off, much to the amazement of our entire group.
So, I'm not Texas at all, so there's that. And my Wife got bit by a fire ant when she was visiting while in college, and she told me I don't want to get bit by one. Texas is not my kind of place.

LOL! Damn we agree on horseback riding. When I was 8 I had a friend in 2nd grade killed by being thrown into a tree by one. Kinda takes the desire out of ever wanting to ride 'em for sure. RIP Wayne Johnson. ?
However I get bit by those damn fire ants almost every single time I mow the yard. Never fails! Little bastages! Speaking of which I have found more mounds already with recent rain. I need to poison 'em before spring is in full swing or they take over the whole damn yard.

I inherently don't trust horses, as Ag said you can get killed or seriously injured riding one. My only adult ride was on a well trained one owned by one of my coworkers, trotting around, and it still scared the crap out of me. And not before the dumb critter stepped on my foot first. Gave me an appreciation for jockeys racing thoroughbreds.
Only got stung once by a fire ant at the Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys. Not pleasant at all.
PS Regarding Sam Elliott, I remember him as having a small part in the Civil War historical movie "Gettysburg". It came out in 1993, but if you've never seen it, worth digging it up on VOD. I bought the DVD of the movie I liked it so much.

I almost got seriously hurt once while riding a horse. The horse was going too fast and I fell off and caught my foot in the stirrup. The horse was dragging me around in a circle and I was screaming and hollering for help. Thankfully the manager of Kmart heard me and came out and unplugged it. (then he told me I couldn't ride the elephant)

And, cal, your boy is not responsible for Criminal Justice reform.
well, Tour, he didn't make it, but he signed the bill, after people like Van Jones worked on the project
for a good while with the WH.
even Van Jones praised Pres Trump for it:

Nov 15, 2018 · Liberal activist Van Jones, who has worked with the Trump White House on criminal justice reform for a while, was the recipient of much chiding on Twitter after he tweeted that Trump “is on his way to becoming the uniter-in-Chief” after his support for the bill.
well, Tour, he didn't make it, but he signed the bill,
As Grover Norquist said... all he required of a President was that he be smart enough to hold a pen and sign his name.
Your boy meets the requirements... barely.

My Father-in-law's Great Uncle served at the Battle of San Jacinto. His name is on a plaque in the museum at the base of the monument to the battle.
