MURALS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS

2023

In September of 2023, Don’t mess with Texas unveiled the first mural in the Texas Rio Grande Valley area. The mural titled “Don’t mess with Texas Because We’re Watching” was created by Oneieda Treviño features a cowgirl on one end and a ballet folklórico dancer on the other. In between, we see a variety of plants and animals local to the Texas Rio Grande Valley. It’s a beautiful depiction of the Valley’s rich culture and diverse ecology, reminding residents and visitors to keep their beautiful environment clean. The mural also includes a quote “We only have one” below the “Don’t mess with Texas” campaign logo, emphasizing the importance of preserving the beauty of Texas.
