About Us

In the fall of 2018, Michelle (owner of Copano Bay Press, publishers of Texas history) was shopping for Texas tees to sport while tending to family business in Los Angeles. But all of the "I heart Tacos" designs that apparently now pass for Texas pride made her want to flush her phone down a toilet. If all Texas means to you is tacos, margaritas, and Matthew McConaughey, then you don't get Texas. 

Anyway...on the drive back from that California trip, Michelle brainstormed shirt ideas that reflected her love of Texas culture & history. Back home, she designed those shirts. Then coasters. Then blankets and housewares. She spent the next eight months wearing (and washing) the shirts to make sure they held up well. As a matter of fact, every product offered here has been put through its paces by a very picky woman.

Her favorite design was a simple one. In a weathered stencil type face, it spelled out Semper Texas - always Texas. Rings true, don't you think?
