There’s something magical about Texas. Maybe it’s the smell of brisket on a summer afternoon, the sound of boots scuffing across a dance floor, or the warm greetings of neighbors who feel more like family. Whatever it is, Lone Star Roots has captured that magic and turned it into something you can wear, share, and gift with pride.
Founded by Carrie and Mark Ermence in the heart of Celina, Texas, Lone Star Roots is more than just a t-shirt company. It’s a bold, funny, and heartfelt celebration of the Lone Star State—designed to make you smile and feel a little more connected to your roots.
Whether you’re picking up a “Texas Girl” tee for your daughter, grabbing a “Every Butt Deserves a Good Rub” shirt for your favorite BBQ pitmaster, or topping it all off with a classic Texas rope hat, Lone Star Roots has something for everyone who loves our great state.

🌟 A Business Born from Love and Laughter
Carrie and Mark didn’t set out to create just another clothing brand. After moving to Texas in 2006, they fell in love with the state’s culture, people, and unapologetic pride.
Many evenings were spent with family on the porch, laughing about funny t-shirt ideas and dreaming about ways to bring Texans together. In 2020, they turned those conversations into a reality and launched Lone Star Roots, a brand that embodies humor, heart, and the kind of sass Texans are famous for.
Even their logo—a heart over Texas—tells a story. It’s a tribute to Carrie’s father, who passed away in 2019 from heart disease, and a reminder that every design they create comes from a place of love.
