Rich Texan (both name and description), voiced by Dan Castellaneta, is a stereotypical rich, callous but gregarious business owner.

Creation

He is very similar to the character of Mr Judson on the Burns and Allen radio show of the 1940s.

Govermental Powers

He is an active member of the Springfield Republican Party and speaks with a heavy Texan drawl. In the fifth season episode “$pringfield” (his debut), Homer addresses the Rich Texan as Senator, although this was never again referenced.

Appearance

Rich Texan sports a bolo tie and a white cowboy hat. He is also obsessive-compulsive, as revealed in “The Seemingly Never-Ending Story.”

Interests

He has stated 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 conned by the two.

Catchphrase

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 to Ned Flanders.

Criminal Record

He has been to jail at least once when one of his stray bullets hit a Texas Ranger. The police made him switch to blanks, but he noted that "They just don't feel the same".

Family

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.

Fears

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.

State of Orgin

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.
