Personality/Bio-

     Texas Sunrise is a rodeo master. Ever since he was a foal, he loved the rodeo. He loved visiting Appleloosa whenever his mother entered in the local show, and as he got older he began practicing so he could one day join. He’s very good with a rope, and he’s strong enough to buck three hay bales over a fence all at once. Tex is no stranger to winning medals and ribbons, but he remains humble. 

Tex was always the most mature out of his siblings. He is calm, composed, and can always remain level-headed. He’s great at giving advice and has wisdom beyond his years. He’s not overly extroverted, but he can talk to ponies easily and is overall an enjoyment to be around. He’s also a great storyteller and can entertain ponies for hours. 

Tex is very independent, and always has been. Much like his mother, he has trouble accepting help sometimes. He doesn’t want to burden those around him and also fully believes he can do anything himself. Despite his confidence, he’s learned that sometimes he needs to ask for help. 

Tex is a free spirit. He loves exploring the world and all it has to offer, and sees every day as a new chance to do something amazing. He’s a wanderer, despite the rest of his family being very attached to home. Tex loves traveling and doesn’t stay in one place for very long, except when he comes home to visit his family. 

Relationships-

Tex gets along very well with both his parents. He and his mom are very similar and they also share a love of the rodeo, even though Tex is more into it than Applejack. Tex and his dad also get along with their easy going personalities. 

Tex isn’t as close with his siblings as they are with each other, due to him traveling a lot. Even as a foal, he enjoyed traveling and would visit relatives in other parts of Equestria all by himself. His parents always trusted him, maybe a little too much. Still, Tex loves his siblings and is often there to keep them in line when need be. 

Tex is pretty close with his cousin, Autumn Gold. They’re very similar in personality, except Gold is much shyer than Tex. Tex is also friends with Rodeo and Granite Rock Pie, who are both sons of Marble Pie and Trouble Shoes. Tex has sort of a playful rivalry with Rodeo since they compete a lot, but they still consider each other friends. 

Cutie mark:

Note: I'm only going to be doing these full bios for the main cast of my next gen, not every pony because that would take ages.  

Note 2: Tex's design was done by MPLbasemaker33  The only changes I made were making him an earth pony and swapping his hat for Applejack's hat
