A spokes person said that they're going to rebuild him, bigger and better in true Texas fashion.

[quote]State Fair president Errol McKoy wants fairgoers to know that he appreciates your kind words and messages. He sends his appreciation to the Dallas Fire Department and the City of Dallas Police Department for their quick response. Mayor Rawlins took time from his busy schedule to appear in person. It is testament to the importance that our icon, Big Tex, has on the city, its citizens, and Texas. For 60 years, Big Tex has served the State Fair of Texas as its official host. He'll be in place next year for the opening of the 2013 season.[/quote]

This is basically the Texas 9/11.
rumour has it that the new Big Tex will larger than the Burj Khalifa and will plan to shoot gouts of flame out of both eyes and mouth in spite of its predecessor burning down. Instead of the slow, steady gestures made by its ancestor, New Tex's arms will rapidly seize, gyrate, and buck forward in order to "fan the flames of rebirth". Also, New Tex will simply be voiced by a microphone strapped to an idling engine.
The king is dead. All hail the king. dickies
