"When they say everything’s bigger in Texas, they mean nice things: hair, smiles, steaks, sky. Crime is too depressing to make the cut, but like it or not, our crime is not just big but bigger than anyone else’s, so we may as well brag about it. . . . Since its inception, Texas Monthly has made hay of true crime, in the great tradition of our literary forebears. . . .
