Nopales, venison and mesquite are as much a part of the foodways of Texas as tacos, tamales and tortillas.
Food is where Adán Medrano s new documentary starts, but the film, Truly Texas Mexican, which launched on Amazon Prime this week, weaves through history, archaeology, feminism and spirituality, leaving viewers with a deeper understanding of Texas-Mexico history, which typically skips over the first 10,000 years of the region.
Food history in Texas often leaves out the voices of women and immigrants, too, says Medrano, a San Antonio native who grew up in Houston, went to graduate school in Austin and lived all over South America and Europe for a former job in philanthropy.

When it comes to general political knowledge in West Texas, the name Emma Grigsby Meharg may not ring any bells, but perhaps it should. Meharg was the first woman to serve as Secretary of State for the State of Texas, doing so in the mid-1920s under governor Miriam “Ma” Ferguson who was the first woman governor of Texas. What may be of more interest is that Meharg lived in Plainview.
It was a fact that came as a surprise to Dr. Rebekah Crowe, a professor of history at Wayland Baptist University. Meharg was born in Lynnville, Tenn, Aug. 14, 1873, eventually making her way to Plainview. She died in 1937 and is buried in the Plainview cemetery. Crowe’s interest in researching the political trailblazer led to a book deal with Texas Tech University Press.
