Tex would often say “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” We know Tex cared for vulnerable children and was committed to philanthropy throughout his life. Earnhardt Auto Centers was built on the values Tex held dear and that includes his spirit of giving. His family continues that tradition. They recently donated $75,000 to Child Crisis Arizona in memory of Tex. Our community will miss Tex’s great heart— and that ain’t no bull .
