Richard 'Rich' Texan, also known as 'The Rich Texan' and Senator Shady Bird Johnson, is a stereotypical rich, selfish, callous, but gregarious, business owner from Springfield. He wears a tan suit with a bolo tie and a white cowboy hat (which he wore on the day Kennedy was shot) and is in his 70s. He holds two guns at once. The Rich Texan has a fortune of 290 million dollars, although at one time he was worth more than 1000000000 dollars (he was once accepted into Billionaire Camp). He once owned a basketball team called the Austin Celtics, which he lost to Mr Burns in a card game. It is revealed that he often secretly mixed steroid with the cocaine consumed by the players to enhance their performance (a parody of the Boston Celtics) . He is an active member of the Springfield Republican Party and speaks with a heavy Texas drawl. In Season 5's '$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)' (the Rich Texan's debut), Homer addresses the Rich Texan as 'Senator', although this was never mentioned again . He once owned a logging company and once attempted to cut down Springfield's tallest Redwood tree, until his company was destroyed by the gigantic tree after it slid down a hill . He also once owned all of Mr. Burns's possessions, when he won them in a bet . One of Richard's fondest dreams is to build the world's first drive-through humidor . He claims to also be a member of an unnamed group of oil tycoons who make foolish purchases, having bought a stained glass bathrobe and the world’s fattest racehorse. (Source: Fandom.com, CC BY-SA)
