Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

[TPW TV theme music]

October 20 the TPW TV Series begins its 28th season on PBS stations in Texas. Expect stories about everything you love about the outdoors.

05— You name it – if it happens outdoors in the state of Texas, we are going to have it on our PBS television show.

Don Cash, series producer, says sometimes he and his crew find stories and sometimes the stories find them.

49— Basically what we do is we look at the programs that Texas Parks and Wildlife is involved in; we try to do stories on the programs and the people. One of the best ways to come up with story ideas is just being out there in the field and meeting people. We’ll be doing one story and someone will say, ‘Oh, you should go look at this over here.’ And by George, all of a sudden you know you’ve got another story to do. .

In addition to its 28 year history, what are you most proud of with respect to the Parks and Wildlife television series?

What I think we’re really proud of is being able to go out and show people what’s available here in Texas. We’ve got a lot of new people moving here; they don’t know what’s out there. And a lot of people have been out here a long time and don’t really get outdoors. And that’s what the show is about really: showing you what’s out there and what’s available and maybe inspiring you to get out and enjoy the Texas outdoors. Hope you’ll watch.
