I ordered the Cactus Mesquite wood pen to give as a Christmas gift. My order was placed Dec. 16; I received the pen Dec. 17. I had spoken to a lady at Texas Crazy before placing the order to see if I could get the pen shipped quickly. She assured it would ship that day, and I might have it by the next day, but no later than Saturday. I got it the next day. That is great service. And the lady I spoke with was very helpful and polite.

The pen is beautiful. I can’t wait to give it the young man I purchased it for. He is a friend of my grandson, and an exchange student from South Africa. He is excited to be coming to Texas for Christmas, and I want to give him a little part of Texas to take with him to remind him of his visit to Texas. This pen is perfect.

I will update my review after he receives the pen.

I’ve been looking for the right emblem or a state seal of Texas in a tasteful metal for my late husbands headstone and this is just perfect. Webb was such a proud native Texan and one of the Last Great Southern gentleman. R.I.P.

I ordered the 24″x36″ Army flag framed in barn wood. Immediately after ordering the item, I got in touch with the nice folks at TexasCrazy and explained that I had an extremely short timeline — I basically needed the item delivered in three business days. TexasCrazy was extremely understanding ensured the product arrived when I needed it. Once it arrived, I was extremely happy with the quality and craftsmanship these folks produce. I am extremely happy I decided to order the framed Army Flag from these great folks. I will do business with them again and would recommend them to anyone. thank you!

This is a beautiful boot bag. It was a gift for my father-in-law, who has refined taste. He loved it. It’s a great value, too, as other leather bags we saw (that weren’t nearly as nice looking) were in the $400 range. My only complaint is that the color was not as shown in the picture. It is actually a much darker brown, nearly black. It’s still gorgeous and isn’t a problem for us, but it might be for someone else.

Hello Bill. Just want you to know that my new tooled bags arrived today, and I am delighted! They are beautifully made, just the right sizes and even smell good… You have made me a customer for life. Thank you so much, Terry M

We bought the metal sign that says “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord” With the family. We ordered this piece so we could put it into our center piece of our table. We love it!! The process to order was easy and we only waited 2 weeks for it to come in. When we order more we are most certainly giving our business to them.

I was recently looking for something special for an anniversary gift for true Texans and long time western anything fans. Texas Crazy has numerous great choices. The website is very easy to maneuver, and informative. The products are shown in clear, close-up pictures. Many websites offer small, fuzzy, and distant images. Also, Bill is super friendly and very responsive. He really made a difference for me. The selected items were shipped quickly, and arrived in time for a very, special day. They were very, very happy! The products are well made, and would make anyone proud to own in their home, or give as a gift. I wish I had known about Texas Crazy years ago when I was stationed in Texas. I made the website a favorite on my computer and smartphone! Thank you, Bill!

LOVE this bag! It is the 2nd one I’ve ordered. I have the turquoise and red now and love them both. The size is just right for all those extra things you need for a shopping trip or just extras while on the road. Both bags are quality leather and the colors are gorgeous! Will probably have all the colors before I’m done……………………………………………

I love the picture we just received! It shows the historical flags of Texas in a very novel frame. For the price, this we very well worth it! Also, this company is great….I really wanted my picture before our holiday party and they delivered! Great experience!

I am just amazed at the quick shipping. I ordered Friday night around midnight and received it in Monday’s mail!!
This journal is absolutely what I was looking for. The deer horn button and Texas star medallion just add to it! I am going to use this journal to record our visits and pictures at our newly purchased Texas ranch. Thank you so much for finding such wonderful TEXAS themed items handmade by Texans.

Our 3 year anniversary called for leather. My husband was always commenting on my nylon boot bag and so I thought it would be a great gift for him when I found this leather boot bag. Now I may have to buy one for me too! He LOVED it!!! Great quality and design!

When our 3×5 Texas flag arrived we were so pleased with the beauty of it. We ordered the light barn wood frame which gave the flag an awesome look. Thank you Texas Crazy for doing an outstanding job! For anyone looking for a flag this size Texas Crazy has the best price.

This is such a beautiful piece. Couldn’t be better. It is an inspiration to all who see it. We it have displayed on the outside
of our home. Thanks for the good work.

I bought the 519 tote bag for my husband to carry books, notepads, and our bibles. I chose this one because of its sturdiness and thought that the black color gave it a bit more business like appearance. Therefore, he can use it if need be for work. We are both very pleased. This is my second purchase from Texas Crazy and I look forward to more in the future.

Yee- Haw, LOVE my tote!!! Ordered the large tote in turquoise and it is beautiful. I’ll be ordering all the colors available before I’m done. Great quality and service, thank you!

I was searching for a leather book bag online and stumbled upon your web page. I ordered two bags, the large in tan and the medium bag in brown. I love them and have gotten so many compliments. One of my best friends is going to purchase a bag.

I got the 2 Texas flags that were framed from my parents Come & Take it and the beautiful TEXAS blue flag. I LOVE THEM. I am a diehard Texan. I was born in Plano and grew up in Flower Mound. Went to school at Southwest Texas in San Marcos. Nothing can peel me away from this great State. Thank you for the great work. I already have my eyes on a few other things. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! Vicki

I ordered the William Travis framed letter picture and needed it the following week. They went out of their way to make sure it arrived on time. The picture is stunning. The website doesn’t do it justice. It makes a wonderful gift.

Mr. Bill, I’d like to take a minute to thank you for the way bid’ness was handled in order for me to receive my order in which the shipping and the turn around time was prompt and on time.

I was “out of pocket” and when coming back into town I had to catch a chopper off shore immediately with only time to swing by the house to pick up my order “if” it had been received on time.

As I had hoped, my order was there intact and complete as ordered. I was able to snatch up the box and head immediately to the airport where everything worked out fantastically. I had to open the box in transit and when parking threw all my goodies inside and grab a jet. Everyone coming in contact with this leather bag was in awe of the looks, the feel and the lady checking my bag on check in was particularly enamored with the smell of the leather of this gorgeous back pack.

It was kind of difficult to tell how nice the bag was online, but upon opening the box I was pleasantly FLOORED.

It was much more than I expected and every bit of what I was hoping for. And the way you handled your business reminds me of the days when made in America, quality and service was paramount over the almighty dollar. In my mind only return bid’ness would be a larger compliment. I will not hesitate to come back after a nice travel bag coming in from this hitch off shore. Thank ya kindly, sir. Michael K

I received the Texas leather bag, and it is beautiful! It has definitely been a great help to me, as it is an organizer bag. It is a quality bag. The service from Texas Crazy was perfect and I will be a return customer. Many thanks!

Hey Bill: I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help and time yesterday, Oh how I miss Texas and Southern Hospitality, I also appreciate you meeting my needs. I will refer you to others and continue to shop with you…. Teresa

Gorgeous flag…even more beautiful in person

Product is exactly what I wanted!

Both of my step-daughters are equestrians. One day I was cruising a very small thrift shop by my house and came across these dishes. There were 6 plates and a serving bowl. I asked how much and she told me the plates were $.50 a piece and the bowl was $1.00. I bought them for my youngest daughter for her dorm room. I thought “Well, if she doesn’t like them, I can just re-donate them”. When she was here for the summer I gave them to her. She did like them. The following Christmas, I asked her what she would want. She said that she would like more of those dishes. That is when the sticker shock set in on the original Till Goodan restaurant ware set in!!!! I have been collecting it for her a piece at a time ever since. In all of my time of looking for this, I have only found one chili bowl and it cost an arm and half a leg. She really wanted the bowls for soup salad etc. So I commenced searching even for the new bowls. That is when I found Texas Crazy and I have been buying her the chili bowls for her special occasions ever since! I have found Texas Crazy to be really reliable with fair prices and shipping. I will continue to be a customer as long as my daughter wants Boots and Saddle!

Just wanted to let you know that the bag we ordered was a big hit and turned out to be the perfect gift. The quality was better than anticipated. Thanks for the wonderful service. Chris

We ordered the Oak Country Buffet Server for our kitchen, and we simply LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It is constructed with superb craftsmanship, not a single flaw of any kind! We asked for a couple of custom features, and were very pleased that those requests were met perfectly! This piece of furniture is even more beautiful in person than it appears on the website. We are so happy with it that we are now ordering a second table, with modified dimensions, to partner with the first one. Bill Ellmore knows how to treat his customers, and customer service here at Texas Crazy is better than any company we’ve ever dealt with. Delivery was prompt and right within the expected time frame, and the table was thoroughly protected with high quality packing materials. I will highly recommend Texas Crazy to anyone, and in fact, have done so, to all those who have asked out about our beautiful new buffet server! Thank you so much!

Hi Bill, Just received a report this morning that all went extremely well! Of course, I have your information recorded for future events – many thanks for the wonderful customer service – again! Kind regards, Catherine

I purchased 5 framed 2×3 flags from TEXASCRAZY.COM for my executive office and I couldn’t be more pleased! I have a custom made dark stained desk in my office and was a bit nervous that the frames would match the description on the site but when they arrived they were a perfect match. The flags are heavy fabric and with stitched lettering and imagery (not printed).

Great communication and updates. When the frames arrived arrived they were packaged better than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I am and will be making future purchases!

I ordered a leather duffel bag from Texas Crazy.com and I am simply crazy about it;
the leather is of a very fine quality and the bag is expertly crafted.
I’m going to Rochester New York to see and hear THE ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC
next week in for my birthday and I wanted some quality luggage to take with me and voila
Texas Crazy has sent me the bag of my dreams.

I purchased a Texas flag with a stained frame, it is beautiful! The shipping packaging was very thorough, which shows how much care and attention they put into their work. Thanks!

Thank you so very much. It has been a rare treat to be the beneficiary of your wonderful customer service. Please enjoy the rest of your evening and weekend. Nicki – Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Due to a “bug” going through the family we did not get to exchange Christmas gifts until last night. I bought this sculpture for my son-in-law who loves western art and has several other bronzes. He was delighted with it as was I when it arrived. I had expected it after Christmas (the 27th) but it got to me earlier on the 24th. It is everything I hoped it would be.
Thank you. I am glad I found you.

My Mother had bought a bag very similar to this 20 years ago in LA. I was very happy to find her this one. She already opened. She loves it! Thanks!

I am sooo thankful for your incredibly fast shipping!! I was so impressed that it shipped out the same day I ordered it! I am giving this item as a gift for Christmas so I definitely appreciate y’all sending it so quickly. This “tooled leather utility travel kit” came just as described. I don’t know what else to say other than I’ll definitely be ordering more products from y’all very soon!! Thanks so much again! Saira

Dear Bill, I couldnt believe my eyes when the luggage I ordered from you showed up on my doorstep this morning! I just ordered it! It is absolutely beautiful!!!! I ordered the dark brown tooled leather wheeled carry on and I am so glad that I did. I cant wait to use it on my next trip. Thank you for a great product and extremely fast delivery. I will remember you! Sincerely, Rebecca M

Bill, Received my purse yesterday. love it love it love it!!!!!!!!!! I will keep your checking your website to see if you have gotten any different ones in. i may be your best customer. ha ha. Have a great day. JoAnn E

Thank you for taking the time to keep me updated. Your excellent customer service is appreciated.

I love being a Texas Crazy customer. I’ve purchased from you before and I have always been treated well. Today was just another example. God bless, Doug

Bill, The tooled leather cover arrived today. It is well worth waiting for. Beautiful and the Bible fits in it perfectly. Thank you and your team for the excellent customer service. I will order again from you. Thank you Sherry

We have received our maps and are so happy. They are beautiful and beautifully framed. Thanks so much for expediting these prints. We appreciate everything you’ve done to help us. Lynn R

I just discovered your website today. WOW! I’m so impressed with your products. I’m equally impressed with your “about us” page. I love “we love God, family, country, Texas sunsets and floppy-eared Labradors”. Rare to see that in print on a website these days. I’m a Virginian born and raised, but discovered Texas several years ago. There is nothing I don’t love about Texas. There are so many items I want to buy, I’ve started a list. I also think your prices are fabulous. I can’t wait to lace my first order. Mostly, I just wanted to thank you for being so completely pro-American~~who can’t love that 🙂 Nancy Brown I’ll be placing my first order in the next day or so.

Dear Bill, How are you? I wanted to mention that the pens we ordered were a great success. Everyone loved them. Thanks a million! Tatiana T

I searched quite a while for a 14K State of Texas outline pendant and was very happy when I found this one. Buyers should be aware that it does take about a week for the item to be shipped out since it is a custom piece. But once it was shipped, the necklace arrived very quickly. Communication with Texas Crazy was prompt and courteous. And most importantly, I am very pleased with the size and quality of the Texas pendant! Highly recommend!!!

Hi Bill, Received our pens and they look beautiful! Thank you so much for taking care of us on short notice. Hope to order from you again in the future. I sent your website link to our Marketing department. Take care, Dina

The pen/journal/pistachio gift went over really well. Most everyone ate the pistachios during the meeting. I used rope type material to wrap it all up with a thank you card. Thank you very much for making sure everything was there. San Antonio had really changed from when I lived there in 1980 – went down memory lane. Hope all is well and thank you again for everything, Pam

Hi Bill~ I received my new western purse today. I LOVE IT! The western style, color, and all the fun compartments in this mid-size purse are great. Thank you, Judi (purchased tooled leather purse # 336)

Received the product and LOVED IT. I traveled to Chicago today and received several compliments. Thank you so much for the great service and product. Pat S

I am a retired Spanish Teacher who just purchased the TOOLED LEATHER ROLLING OFFICE Bag in NATURAL color.
It is absolutely GORGEOUS, TOP QUALITY TOOLED LEATHER!!! And I KNOW HAND-TOOLED LEATHER!!

The quality rivals any piece I own that I have purchased from leather makers in Leon Guanajuato, Mexico [the leather
capital of North and South America ]and of COLOMBIA,South America, where I purchased a tote bag (that I still use to this day,) over 35 years ago. THIS PIECE FROM TEXAS CRAZY SHOULD LAST ME THAT LONG AGAIN!!! The bag has tooling on both the front and the back in a pattern suitable to the most manly man or the most stylish woman. It has reinforced leather strips riveted to the stress points on the bag…translation….it will NOT fall apart on the user after a few months.

I love, love, love all the zippered compartments where I can stash all my essentials in pocketed dividers inside and not
even have to carry a purse. One of the things I have had issues with when traveling to France and to 20 Spanish-speaking countries is that the wheels of my rolling tote bag go crazy in all directions with extra weight. THE TOOLED LEATHER
ROLLING OFFICE has superior quality wheels and a very sturdy handle that retracks into a pocket zipped area that
is really classy looking. INSIDE THE ZIPPERED COMPARTMENTS ARE STURDY COTTON CANVAS CLOTH-LINED AREAS
FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CARRY. LOVE THAT!!!! IF I WANT TO CARRY MY BAG INSTEAD OF ROLLING IT
BEHIND ME, THERE IS IN THE CENTER AT THE TOP OF THE BAG A DOUBLE PADDED, DOUBLE SEWN HANDLE THAT IS
ATTACHED TO THE BAG WITH RIVETED BRASS RINGS THAT WILL NOT PULL LOOSE AND SHOULD LAST A
LIFETIME (30-35 more years for me).

PLEASE NOTE: In the on-line description, it says the bag has a moire(a type of silk)lining and double strap handles.
I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE THAT THE LINING IS ACTUALLY A STURDY COTTEN CANVAS, AND THAT THE
DOUBLE HANDLES HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH THIS TOP QUALITY RINGED AND RIVETED ONE. I hope
the company will revise its description to reflect THESE TWO TERRIFIC IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DURABILITY
OF THIS BAG.

I am retired but am as busy as ever. THIS BAG IS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST TRAVELERS!!! I PLAN ON USING
IT AS MY NEW HANDBAG WHEN GOING TO THE STORE, THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE, ON HIKES IN THE SMOKY
MOUNTAINS near my home, AND TO TOTE ALL MY NECESSITIES AS WELL AS MY PRETTY IMPRACTICLES
AROUND THE CAMPUS AT THE NEARBY UNIVERSITY WHERE I VOLUNTEER AS A SPANISH TUTOR.
I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BAG.

ONE FINAL COMMENT: I am glad I paid the extra ten dollars and bought the MATCHING TOOLED LEATHER
LUGGAGE TAG. The tag has a secure watch-like strap concealing the owner’s name, but when opened can contain
any information you so desire about yourself. On mine, I have listed my first name, phone number and medical
alert that I am diabetic.

I AM CRAZY ABOUT MY TEXAS CRAZY TOOLED LEATHER ROLLING PURSE/TOTE BAG/ BRIEF CASE/
AIRLINE CARRY-ON/ OFFICE ON THE GO ORGANIZER!!!!

Thanks Bill! It’s always a pleasure doing business with you! I wish every vendor offered your level of service. You’re definitely my go to guy for special employee gifts. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well and I look forward to doing business with you again in the new year! Best regards, Sherry

I received my order a few days ago, and I wanted to take the time to write a review. I usually don’t do this, but the remarkable service and products left me thinking I need to tell others. The framed picture, etc. that I purchased are perfect. Perfect Condition, and I think that my husband is going to love them. Being so far from his home, I wanted to bring him a little bit of Texas for Christmas, and I think this may be the best way! I know he cannot wait to be back in his home state, but for now, I will keep bringing him items from Texascrazy.com. Thank you!!!

Bill – I received the pens today. I have not had a chance to inspect all of them yet, but the first few look great! Thanks for delivering on-time. These are the perfect Texas gift for our special guests coming from China. Thanks again, Tim

Just received Chris Smith’s Texas Ranger Badges and The Flags of Texas framed prints. That are far better than I had hoped. The distressed frames add to the overall Texas look of the print. I wasn’t expecting signed prints. That was an unexpected and added bonus. The time between order and delivery was only a couple of days. I wasn’t expecting them for several more days. Another unexpected joy. I hope to order more in the future.

The quality of the tooled leather bags I ordered is excellent. I was also very pleased with how fast they were shipped. Would definitely order from Texas Crazy again!

Great customer service!!! I am very impressed!!!!

I have purchased several tooled leather bags for Texas Crazy. Love all of them. Customer service is excellent also. Would not hesitate to recommend this company or their products.

Working with Bill was a great experience. He helped me greatly & the products I purchased were top of the line. Thank you to Bill for being so patient with me while I made a number of calls asking questions.

I ordered the Mesquite Liveoak Ballpoint Pen, which is a terrific product. The online image is attractive, and the real item is even more exquisite. I possess wood pens produced by other craftsmen, and must say that this Texas Crazy pen is now the most attractive pen that I own. It feels as though it had been designed to fit my hand perfectly, and the writing is smooth and almost effortless. Thanks, James Sutton and Bill Ellmore!

I purchased the large tote and was thrilled when I received it. It is everything I was looking for in a tote bag. My laptop fits in it perfectly. I plan on ordering the smaller version of this bag for a purse.

Thanks again and I love your stuff. I have West Texas Royalty framed and on the wall in my home office. I get compliments on it all the time, my wife and I love the leather candles. Great site! Thanks David

By the way-love your site. Grew up in Texas-see lots of stuff I want!

Who you are: Texan by choice
Message: Received my order — just what I wanted. Service is superb!! Thanks to all!

Wow, that is the fastest shipping in the West. I received it today. Absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks, Christine

Hi,

I received my order today. As usual, it arrived promptly and was exactly what I ordered. You folks do a great job.

Thanks, Jeanine G

Bill,

Got the bags this morning. We are VERY pleased with them. Thank you!

Bill- When I got my first order in, my boyfriend loved the color so much we went online and I placed the second order. Your shipping is outstanding! We are both going on vacation the 8th of this month and we are able to take our new stuff! We have already decided we are going to get the travel shaving bag for Christmas – so you will get another order or two out of me this year yet!

Thanks again for being so quick!
