Been meaning to put this one up for a long time, but just found the book while packing. It’s from page 23 of


“Kinky Friedman’s Guide to Texas Etiquette: Or How to Get to Heaven or Hell Without Going Through Dallas-Fort Worth” (Kinky Friedman)

Years ago, my mother had a little sign on her desk…. It read: “Courtesy is owed. Respect is earned. Love is given.”
That may be as close to Texas Etiquette as any of us will ever get.

Amen, Kinky.
