Today, March 2, 2010, Texas turned 174 years old! On this day in 1836, the Texas Declaration of Independence was adopted, officially breaking free from Mexican rule and creating the Republic of Texas. David G. Burnet was elected Interim President of the new nation. Now, Texans are a proud people and love the fact that Texas was its own country, and their not afraid to tell you that that fact makes Texas better than any other state. Let's be honest, Texans also love a good party. So go out, have a Shiner Bock, and obnoxiously celebrate Texas Independence Day!!
