“It ain’t bragging if it’s true.” –a rodeo bull riderWhy are jobs moving from the once Golden State of California to the Lone Star State of Texas? Why are the best and the brightest moving from Chicago and Detroit to Austin and Houston and Dallas? Why are Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Illinois losing congressmen in 2012 while Texas gains four? Why is it that Texas is growing while the other big states in America are flat or flat-out broke?According to Sam and Andrew Wyly, it’s simple: Texas got it right! The Lone Star State’s long tradition of walking the path less traveled has made it a constantly renewing hotbed of invention and entrepreneurial can-do. From the birthplace of Whole Foods, Southwest Airlines, and Green Mountain Energy has come the innovation that has quadrupled America’s natural gas and oil reserves in the past ten years, creating good jobs across the country and abroad. The most military-friendly state in the union is now leading the country in its use of high-tech windmills and is making it more likely that we’ll soon bring an end to wars over Arab and Persian oil.The Wylys’ new full-color, fully illustrated book of true boasts, Texas Got It Right!, argues that the state’s success stories can inspire the rest of the country. This astute and provocative look at Texan policies, history, and culture is packed with ideas begging to be exported to the other, less fortunate 49 states.

Why is Frisco, Texas, the fastest growing town in America? Why is Dallas the fastest growing city in America? Why are the largest American and international companies moving headquarters to Texas? The answers are simple—Dallas Got It Right! This dynamic new book by Sam Wyly, co-authored by Laurie Matthews and Andrew Wyly, offers new insights into the many reasons Dallas feeds the world, out produces the Middle East in oil and gas, and serves as an epicenter for business management, technology and investment. Wyly’s “Dallas” goes north to Colorado Springs; east to Jackson, Mississippi; south to Aggie Land; and west to White Sands. Dallas Got It Right! is rich in history; entrepreneurial in spirit; expansive in technology; unbounded by city limits. Built on cotton, cows, oil, the military, computer technology, wholesaling and retail, Sam reminds readers that, “My Dallas feeds the world. My Dallas is the technology capital of the world. My Dallas is vital to America’s military muscle.”Dallas Got It Right! shows readers that Dallas goes beyond Elm Street and Main Street, made up of many neighborhoods and characters. It’s a good place to live and work.
