Although he speaks and acts like a Texan, the "Rich Texan" is actually from Connecticut [1]. Mr. Burns once called him "Shady Bird Johnson" [2].
He is an active member of the Springfield Republican Party and speaks with a heavy Texas drawl. In Season 5's "$pringfield" (the Rich Texan's debut), Homer addresses the Rich Texan as "Senator", although this was never mentioned again [3]. He once owned a logging company and once attempted to cut down Springfield's tallest Redwood tree, until his company was destroyed by the gigantic tree after it slid down a hill [4]. One of Richard's fondest dreams is to build the world's first drive-through humidor [5].
