The statue reflects the Western heritage and cowboy culture deeply rooted in the Panhandle region. It’s also seen as a tribute to the ranching history that shaped much of the economy and identity of West Texas.
In 2016, after years of weathering and vandalism, Tex Randall underwent a significant restoration, further cementing its status as an essential part of Canyon’s history and a cherished roadside attraction. Today, it continues to be a popular spot for tourists and locals, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the Old West.
