Editing Rich Texan

'''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 (United States)|Republican Party]] and speaks with a heavy Texan drawl.  In the fifth season episode “[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)|$pringfield]]” (his debut), Homer addresses the Rich Texan as [[United States Senate|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 [[Marge's Son Poisoning|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 W. Bush|George Bush]] as he was also born in Connecticut, but acts as though he was born and raised in Texas.
