The 2023 Star of Texas Award was presented to the Cavender family, recognizing their long-standing commitment to the safeguarding of Lone Star traditions as demonstrated through their business, Cavender's Boot City. Each store promotes the motto of "it's not just what we wear... it's how we live!" and the Texas way of doing buisness. This successful buisness model has included support for statewide causes and advancement of Texas goods and products that reflect the Lone Stare lifestyle and spirit.   

The Texas Historical Foundation would like to thank the Cavender family, as well as the event sponsors for making the evening a success.
