Description 

Texans have never been strangers to setbacks. Droughts, failures, broken fences, bad luck, and hard seasons are all part of the landscape. But one of the defining traits of Texas has always been the willingness to get back up and keep moving forward. 

In this episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott explores the Texas mindset of second chances and second winds. From struggling ranchers and weary settlers to Sam Houston himself, Texas history is filled with people who refused to let one bad moment write the ending to their story. 

This episode is a reminder that real “Texitude” isn’t about never falling down. It’s about refusing to stay there.
