A Texas Steer is a 1927 American silent film directed by Richard Wallace. It was a cinematic adaptation from an eponymous play by Charles Hale Hoyt.
Maverick Brander, a newly elected Congressman from the fictional town of Red Dog, Texas, moves to Washington, D.C. to serve in the United States House of Representatives. He supports the Eagle Rock Dam bill. Meanwhile, he flirts with a woman.
The film was reviewed in The New York Times by film critic Mordaunt Hall in 1928. He noted, "There are passages in this film that are rowdy, but there are also a good many witty episodes."
