The Texas Tarot deck has a total of 78 cards. Each of these cards has a hand-painted illustration associated with a certain part of Texas, which is explained in the handbook. These paintings add to Texas Tarot’s charm, as many who purchase Tarot decks collect them for their artwork alongside their practicality. Tarot cards are traditionally much longer and larger than a typical playing card. This allows for more emphasis on the deck’s artwork. On the reverse of every card, the pattern found on the handbook fills the space, tying them together.

The Texas Tarot Handbook is a helpful guide for customers interested in learning about their fortunes as well as the great state of Texas. When closed, it is the same size as a typical Tarot card, allowing it to fit snugly within the package. Every card in the Texas Tarot deck has its own spiritual and Texas-themed meaning. Drawing a card upside-down or in conjunction with other cards can also alter the interpretation of a reading. However, all of the information users need is within the Texas Tarot Handbook. 

The handbook is split into two categories: the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. The 22 Major Arcana in are the most important cards in a Tarot deck, representing life’s virtues and vices. The 56 Minor Arcana are similar to playing cards in which there are four suits: wands, cups, swords, and pentacles. Each of these suits has 14 cards numbered 1-10, with the page, knight, queen, and king coming after.  In the handbook, users can find each card in the deck partnered with a description of the illustration and its upright and reversed meaning.
