Sales on the Trail from San Marcos To the Stockyards. 


From the Largest Stockyards in Fort Worth to the Largest Shopping Mall in San Marcos—Catch the Sales Where History Meets the Trail! https://youtu.be/g5zskvhtahI?si=E81AkaDLbpUiVhnc


In the spring of 1868, cattleman M.A. Withers rode north out of Lockhart, Texas, leading 600 Longhorns along a trail that would become legendary. His journey up the Chisholm Trail was marked by adventure, uncertainty, and encounters with Indigenous warriors, embodying the rugged spirit of the Texas frontier. Over the years, the trail carried millions of cattle to Kansas railheads, fueling the rise of Texas’ cattle industry and cementing its place in history.



Now, over 150 years later, the Chisholm Trail remains a powerful symbol of Texas’ entrepreneurial spirit and economic expansion. Today, it connects two major trade hubs—the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, where cattle once ruled, and the San Marcos Premium Outlets, where shoppers now chase the best deals. This evolving economic corridor blends heritage and commerce, bringing together the past and present of Texas trade.



Fort Worth Stockyards: Where the West Begins


Founded in the late 1800s, the Fort Worth Stockyards became one of the largest livestock markets in the world, earning Fort Worth its iconic nickname: “Cowtown.” As the last major stop before cattle crossed into Indian Territory, Fort Worth was a bustling hub of ranchers, traders, and drovers.


Today, the Stockyards celebrate that Western heritage while offering a unique shopping experience. Visitors can explore Western wear stores, artisan markets, and authentic Texas shops. With daily cattle drives, live rodeos, and historic saloons, the Stockyards provide a shopping destination where history is alive and well.


San Marcos Premium Outlets: The Ultimate Shopping Destination


Further south on the Chisholm Trail, San Marcos has become home to Texas’ largest shopping mall—the San Marcos Premium Outlets. With over 240 designer and name-brand stores, including Gucci, Prada, and Versace, it draws millions of bargain hunters from across the country.


Originally developed in the 1970s, the outlets have grown into a shopping powerhouse, offering luxury goods at unbeatable prices. Conveniently located between Austin and San Antonio, this retail hub carries on the legacy of trade that once defined the Chisholm Trail—only now, the goods being driven in aren’t cattle, but high-end fashion and everyday essentials.


Connecting Texas’ Economic Trail


For generations, the Chisholm Trail has symbolized commerce, resilience, and expansion. As leaders explore ways to strengthen economic ties between Fort Worth and San Marcos, shoppers now have the opportunity to experience both ends of this historic trail—from handcrafted cowboy boots in the Stockyards to designer deals in San Marcos.


Whether you’re drawn to the rich history of the West or the thrill of Texas-sized shopping, one thing is certain: big sales are waiting for you on the Chisholm Trail!

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...
