Texas Tales

**REMASTERED** Mass Murder on the Opelousas Trail

Fun, lively, partially accurate history of Texas

We love hearing from our fans!

We have come a long way in our production quality since we started. We did our best to REMASTER some “oldies but goodies” and ensure the production offers a better listening experience. Not perfect, but much better. Hope you enjoy!

In the 1800s, a Texas innkeeper lured weary cattle drovers to his inn along the Opelousas Trail—a rest stop that became their final destination. After selling their cattle in New Orleans, drovers would return to the inn with pockets full of cash, only to be met with betrayal and murder. With his family’s help, this villain robbed his victims of their lives, money, and belongings, leaving a trail of horror in his wake. But no one escapes justice forever—especially not in Texas. Join us as we unravel this shocking true tale of greed, bloodshed, and retribution in the Old West.
