Big Tex caught fire during the Texas State Fair on October 19, 2012, due to an electrical malfunction. A short circuit in the wiring of his left boot ignited the flammable materials used in his construction, leading to a rapid spread of flames. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the iconic figure was completely destroyed in the blaze. After the incident, Big Tex was rebuilt and returned to the fair in 2013.
