H-E-B Presents: an Our Texas, Our Future film series
We are proud to launch a five-part original docuseries celebrating Texas’ beautiful State Parks and resilient wildlife from every corner of the state. From the mountains of Big Bend to the Gulf coastline, there’s an incredible variety of native animals & landscapes to explore—and we want to keep it that way.
Created in partnership with Fin & Fur Films, and with narration by Shane Smith & original music by native Texans Shane Smith and the Saints, these films feature some of Texas’ most iconic animals: Ocelots, black bears, wild redfish, and bats. We also celebrate our State Parks’ 100th anniversary with a visually breathtaking tribute & history of Texas State Parks.
H-E-B is fiercely proud of our home state, and we support many Texas farmers, ranchers, researchers, and environmentalists who take good care of our land, water, and air. H-E-B is dedicated to putting Our Texas, Our Future first, so we can continue to support the communities we serve while helping preserve Texas’ natural beauty for generations to come.
We hope you enjoy these five short films, and that they inspire you to explore the Texas beauty in your own backyard.
We’ve partnered with PBS Learning Media to create free learning guides for each film, designed for students in grades 6-12.

H-E-B proudly presents Our Texas, Our Future Films: A five-part original docuseries celebrating Texas’ beautiful State Parks, resilient wildlife, and the Texans helping conserve & protect them.
Texas State Parks Centennial
Starting with just six acres in 1923 and growing to 1.5 million acres in 2023, the nearly 90 Texas State Parks enable Texans across the state to get out and enjoy the diverse, stunning land and wildlife the parks help protect.
Batsies
Two female Texas State University wildlife researchers work against the clock to find a way to save Texas’s delicate—and crucial—bat population, while breaking barriers of their own.
Redfish Revival
Once overfished to dangerous levels, wild redfish are once again thriving on the Gulf Coast, thanks to a healthy balance of sustainable aquaculture and wild caught practices—and a group of passionate Houston anglers working to keep it that way.
Second Chance
Driven out of Texas in the 1900s, black bears have gradually returned to their historic habitat—and Borderlands Research Institute & West Texas ranchers are working to find out why.
Ranching with Ocelots
Fewer than 120 ocelots remain in the U.S.A., and they’re all in deep South Texas. Their future depends on the ranchers & researchers working to create a sustainable agriculture system for both cattle & wildlife.
Proudly produced in partnership with Fin & Fur Films
