Storage Wars: Texas is a reality television series on the A&E Network that premiered in 2011. It is a regionalized spin-off of the highly-popular series Storage Wars. The show features auctioneer Walt Cade, as well as auction hunters Ricky and Bubba Smith, Morris "Moe" Prigoff, Victor Rjesnjansky, and Lesa Lewis and her assistant Jerry Simpson. The premise is essentially the same: when rent is not paid on a storage locker for three months in Texas, the contents are sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items. The show follows professional buyers who purchase the contents based only on a five-minute inspection and what they can see only from the door when it is opened. The goal is to turn a profit on the merchandise.
Season One of Storage Wars: Texas will consist of 16 episodes and debuted on A&E on Tuesday December 6, 2011.[1] The premiere episode garnered 4.1 million viewers, making it the most watched series launch in network history. [2]
Viewers got a glimpse of Storage Wars: Texas on the first Storage Wars: Unlocked special when Ricky and Bubba appeared on it with a teaser clip. The show was to have been originally called Storage Wars: Dallas.

The show's theme song is the same as in Storage Wars, "Money Owns This Town" (which was written and recorded specifically for the show), only it is slightly re-edited in this instance.
In the opening titles, the sequence of titles begins at Ricky and Bubba, then Lesa and Jerry, then Morris, then Victor, and finally at Walt.
