"Walker, Texas Ranger" is now a true Texan. Or at least an honorary Texan.
Years after former Gov. Rick Perry named Chuck Norris an honorary Texas Ranger, the Texas Senate went a step further and made him an honorary Texan.
Reporter Ashley Goudeau was at the Texas State Capitol Tuesday when the Texas Senate presented the honorary Texas Ranger with a gavel along with the new title for the Oklahoma native.

As Chuck Lindell with the Austin American-Statesman put it, "Chuck Norris doesn't sleep, he waits ... for a long line of Texas senators":
