A Texas Steer is a lost[1] 1927 American silent film directed by Richard Wallace and starring Will Rogers. It was a cinematic adaptation from an eponymous play by Charles H. Hoyt.[2]
Maverick Brander, a newly elected Congressman from the fictional town of Red Dog, Texas, moves to Washington, D.C. to serve in the United States House of Representatives.[2] He supports the Eagle Rock Dam bill.[2] Meanwhile, he flirts with a woman.[2]
The film was reviewed in The New York Times by film critic Mordaunt Hall in 1928.[2] He noted, "There are passages in this film that are rowdy, but there are also a good many witty episodes."[2]
