Texas

A place for Texans to hang out.
Description

Texas has a diverse population and geography. Yet, it maintains its own Texan culture. The Lone Star State is rich in attractions, culture, natural resources, and fiery politics. This community serves as a gathering place for Texans where we can discuss whatever. It doesn't have to be about Texas. Join us.

Rules

- English or Spanish - this allows moderators to moderate.

- Keep it family friendly.

- Doesn't have to be about Texas. This is just about hanging out with Texans.

Texas Community Chat Options
Hey, Texans. Communities on Hive don't come with native chat features. To communicate in anything other than a blog post, it's necessary to bolt on a third-party service. Fortunately, we have options.
