The stakes are high and the drama intense in the Lone Star State as the hit A&E® show STORAGE WARS expands to Texas. The series follows five Dallas storage unit hunters in their quest for auction treasures. Self-employed Lesa Lewis is searching for items to sell at her brand-new Again and Again Resale thrift store. Her pockets may not be deep, but she is a doggedly determined bidder when she sees a unit she wants. No job is too big for her right-hand man Jerry Simpson, who is always there to lend a hand and share a few laughs. Seasoned bidder Ricky Smith has been in the business since the age of 14 and says he is here to stay. He has spent the past 20 years teaching the tricks of the trade to his nephew Bubba, who now attends auctions with him. New York native Victor Rjesnjansky moved to Dallas four years ago and now bids on storage auctions to fill the shelves of his two Texas stores. Teasing the crowd of high bidders is fast-talking auctioneer Walt Cade, who will do whatever it takes to move the units – and offer each bidder a shot at hidden treasure.

Storage Wars Texas: Season One arrives on DVD with a 480p transfer in the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. I was pleased overall with the image on display here. Colors consist of natural hues and also bold colors like Moe's odd but fun wardrobe choices. Detail was solid with all the junk inside the lockers clearly distinguishable. Black levels were well balanced. 8/10
Audio is provided by a Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0 track. The on location dialogue is crisp and clean. The audio presentation is perfectly fine and what was expected for this type of program. 7/10
