  Very real. It burned up a few years ago and they rebuilt it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tex https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tex Also the Alamo (as in "Remember The") still exists. It's now a museum in downtown San Antonio. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo_Mission https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo_Mission
