Tex’s determination to look like one of The Good Ol’ Boys is very apparent in his (openly displayed) home decor as well as the hobbies he (publicly) participates in, all of it coming with some influence from his natal culture. His stable walls are littered with western film posters, newspaper clippings of memorable cowcolt exploits, the gears of old farm equipment, and literally anything that you can attach a spur or some paisley to. Hell, past his collection of old heavy lifting medals and trophies you can find a taxidermized jackalope with a novelty ten gallon hat.

But his most prized possession is tucked deeply but safely in the crevice between his headboard and mattress: Cuddleclaws the Bear. Tagalong has had Cuddleclaws since before he can remember, and no matter what happens to the little guy, he never lets him go. If the teddy gets torn, he uses scrap fabric to patch him up. If Tex is stuck on a problem, he speaks aloud to the toy until he yammers his way into a solution. And if ever he’s stressed - a common occurrence when saving the day is your day job - he gives his little pardner a big ol’ bear hug.
