ABOUT TRULY TEXAN

Truly Texan is designed to promote Texas artists and entrepreneurs and to build a base for the eventual secession of Texas. (Just kidding on that last thing.)

The oldest online mall featuring Texas-only based companies, Truly Texan finds the best artisans, artists, and service companies to show the world what Texas is all about. Our customers are discriminating; they recognize quality, individuality, and fine craftsmanship.

If you're interested in opening a store, click here for the details.  Started in spring 1998, Truly Texan is owned and managed by C. C. Blewett, sixth-generation Texan. We've been on the Internet since 1995, but it was early in 1997 when C.C. developed her first online retail store for a local artist, Hillary James. The success of that site (named a Best of the Web by Forbes in summer 2003), plus a real desire to help other artists and entrepreneurs succeed on the Internet, led to Truly Texan.

At Truly Texan, we don't sell the great products you see; we help you find great Texas companies.  And we started doing it long before pay-per-click advertising and affiliate programs because we truly wanted to help unique Texas companies get recognized.  Our very first artisan was with us until he passed away in October 09 (and Texas will never be the same without you, Jerry), so we must be doing something right!

Ridiculous Use of Money is where C.C. writes about web design and Texas and ecommerce and whatever else is striking her fancy.
