The Ruiz Family
Run by Tex, with Ely by his side

- Hats shaped and sized in store
- Exotic skins: ostrich, python, pirarucu
- New arrivals posted on Facebook first
Tex's mobile western store
Take the Reins on the Road
Tex takes a rolling shop of boots, hats and western wear straight to rodeos, festivals, fairs and private events across North Georgia. Ely is often right there in the store and on the road with his dad.
Rodeos, festivals, fairs, church events and private parties — message us on Facebook to get Tex and the mobile store on your calendar.
