"Texasville" is a 1990 American film directed by Peter Bogdanovich. It is a sequel to "The Last Picture Show", and is based on the book of the same name by Larry McMurtry.

The story focuses on Duane Jackson (Jeff Bridges), now in his forties as the wealthy tycoon of a suffering oil company, and his relationship with his family. He's got a wife (Annie Potts) who believes the mild-mannered Duane is cheating on her (which he is); a son (William McNamara) who seems to be following in his father's libidinous footsteps; and grandchildren. In addition to this dysfunctional family are Anarene's other town folk who have never moved beyond its boundaries, including Ruth Popper (Cloris Leachman), now working as Duane's dry-witted secretary; a despondent Lester Marlow (Randy Quaid), now a businessman who seems prime for a heart attack; and Duane's distant best friend Sonny Crawford (Timothy Bottoms), whose behavior lately has caused Duane concern over Sonny's mental health. Reentering the picture is Jacy Farrow (Cybill Shepherd) who has traveled the world and experienced a painful tragedy that has brought her back to Anarene to settle in for good.
