Big Rich Texas is an American reality television series on the Style Network that premiered on July 17, 2011. The show is filmed in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas. [1] The series follows five wealthy Texas women and their daughters. The first season of the show premiered on July 17, 2011 following a spin off from the show Dallas Divas and Daughters that originally aired in 2009 on Bravo TV and The Style Network. [2] [3] The second season debuted February 19, 2012 with new cast members: Deaynni, Amber and Shaye Hatley. [4] [5] In 2014 Season 4 was green lit and ready for production. The network negotiated bringing back Pamela Martin-Duarte and a new cast, with co star Bon Blossman and her daughter Whitney moving on to Whitney's Having a Baby. Subsequently Big Rich Texas season 4 was put on hold due to the decision by NBC Universal to replace the Style Network with the Esquire Network in order to increase their much needed programming for men. 3000 jobs were cut out at Style due to the network changes.

Pamela Jean "Pam" Barnes Ewing is a fictional character from the CBS primetime soap opera Dallas. Pamela is portrayed by actress Victoria Principal, first appearing on the show in the first episode, entitled "Digger's Daughter", which was first broadcast on April 2, 1978. Dallas follows the trials of the wealthy Ewing family in the city of Dallas, Texas, which Pam has married into.
