'''The Rich Texan''' is a stereotypical rich, selfish, callous, but gregarious, business owner. 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 again referenced. The Rich Texan wears a tan suit with a bolo tie and a white cowboy hat. He is also obsessive-compulsive, as revealed in "[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]."

He has gray hair. He is 70 years old.  His occupation is a business owner. He has a gay grandson, as revealed in the episode, "[[Million Dollar Abie]]" and a daughter named Paris Texan (who looks and acts like Paris Hilton, and whose name is a play on Paris, Texas), according to "[[Homerazzi]]."

'''Richard "Rich" Texan''', also known as '''The Rich Texan''', is a rich, selfish, callous, but gregarious, business owner from [[Springfield]]. He wears a tan suit with a bolo tie and a white "ten-gallon" cowboy hat (which he wore on the day {{Ch|John F. Kennedy|Kennedy}} was shot).

He has stated in the episode, "[[Marge's Son Poisoning]]" that he enjoys moonlight walks on the beach; in the same episode, he held Homer and Moe at gunpoint, while forcing them to walk along with him after being tricked by the two. He is well known for pulling out a pair of revolvers and firing them into the air while yelling, "Yee-haw!" whenever he is happy or excited, and once in "[[Pray Anything]]," he went over the top and lost his mind after doing something generous for Ned. In "[[Midnight Towboy]]," he revealed that he suffers from pogonophobia (the fear of beards and mustaches); he then promptly shoots at least one man dressed as Santa Claus. In the episode, "[[Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times]]," it is revealed that he is originally from Connecticut, a likely reference to George Bush, who was born in Connecticut, but raised in Texas and uses Texas iconography. He is voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]].

He is an active member of the [[Springfield Republican Party]] and speaks with western slang words and phrases. In the fifth season episode “[[$pringfield]](Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)”, Homer addresses the Rich Texan as Senator, although this was never mentioned again. The Rich Texan sports a bolo tie and a white cowboy hat. He is also obsessive-compulsive, as revealed in "[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]." In this episode Mr. Burns also refers to him as Shady Bird Johnson. In "[[Marge's Son Poisoning]]," he states that he enjoys moonlight walks on the beach; in the same episode, he holds [[Homer]] and [[Moe]] at gunpoint while forcing them to walk along with him after being conned by the two. He is well known for pulling out a pair of revolvers and firing them into the air while yelling "Yee Haw!" whenever he is happy or excited. In "[[Pray Anything]]," he goes over the top and loes his mind after doing something generous for [[Ned Flanders]]. He has been to jail at least once when one of his stray bullets hit a Texas Ranger [[$pringfield]]. The police made him switch to blanks, but he noted that "They just don't feel the same". In "[[Midnight Towboy]]", he revealed he suffers from pogonophobia (the fear of beards and moustaches); he then promptly shoots a man dressed as Santa Claus. He has a gay grandson, as revealed in "[[Million Dollar Abie]]", a possible reference to US Vice President Dick Cheney's homosexual daughter. He has a daughter named Paris Texan, a play on Paris Hilton and Paris, Texas. In the episode" [[Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times]]," it is revealed that he is from Connecticut. This may be a possible reference to George Bush, as he was also born in Connecticut, but acts as though he was born and raised in Texas. He is oftern mistaken with [http:///index.php?title=Antoine_Tex_O%27Hara&action=edit&redlink=1 Antoine Tex O'Hara]. In The Simpsons HD intro, Rich Texan appears while Bart is skateboarding through town and shoots his pistols at Bart, but fails.

Richard "Rich" Texan, also known as The Rich Texan, is a rich, selfish, callous, but gregarious, business owner from Springfield. He wears a tan suit with a bolo tie and a white "ten-gallon" cowboy hat (which he wore on the day Kennedy was shot).

History[edit]

The Rich Texan

Although he speaks and acts like a Texan, the "Rich Texan" is actually from Connecticut.[2] Mr. Burns once called him "Shady Bird Johnson".[3]

He is an active member of the Springfield Republican Party and speaks with a heavy Texas drawl. Homer once addressed the Rich Texan as "Senator", although this was never mentioned again.[4] 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.[5] One of his fondest dreams is to build the world's first drive-through humidor.[6]

The Rich Texan always carried two revolvers, and he had a common habit of pulling them out and firing them into the air while yelling, "Yee-haw!" whenever he is happy or excited. Shooting on the "Yee", not the "haw", he explained once. He has been to jail at least once when one of his stray bullets hit a Texas Ranger and the police made him switch to blanks, but he noted that "They just don't feel the same".[4] He once held Homer and Moe at gunpoint, while forcing them to walk along with him after being tricked by the two. He once went over the top and lost his mind after doing something generous for Ned.[7]

He revealed that he suffers from pogonophobia (the fear of beards and mustaches), the excuse he gives Homer for parking in a handicap spot; he then promptly shoots at least one man dressed as Santa Claus.[8] He is also obsessive-compulsive and counts 1-2-3-4 before firing his pistols.[3]

The Rich Texan once stated that he enjoys moonlight walks on the beach.[9]

His grandfather fought in the Confederate States military.[10]

Family[edit]

The Rich Texan has a gay grandson [1] and a daughter named Paris Texan (who looks and acts like Paris Hilton, and whose name is a play on Paris, Texas).[11]
