A&E'S HIT REAL-LIFE SERIES "STORAGE WARS: TEXAS" RETURNS FOR A THIRD SEASON BEGINNING TUESDAY, AUGUST 27 AT 9PM AND 9:30PM ET/PT

THE BIDDERS ARE BACK AND FIXIN' TO SCORE AUCTION GOLD

New York, NY - August 13, 2013 - A&E's hit series "Storage Wars: Texas" is back in the saddle for a third season premiering with back-to-back episodes on Tuesday, August 27 at 9PM and 9:30PM ET/PT.

In "Storage Wars: Texas," A&E's hit non-fiction franchise heads to the Lone Star State and this season the buyers are back with a vengeance. Ricky and Bubba are ready to pick up where they left off - dominating the auctions, scoring the best lockers and piling up the most cash, but this time around there's some new cowboys in town. Kenny Stowe is a firebrand from East Texas who buys lockers by the dozens and relishes the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with Ricky and Bubba. Matt Blevins is a laconic ex-bull rider whose Texas blood flows stronger than the Rio Grande. An accomplished auctioneer, he knows the locker world better than anybody and he's ready to ambush the big boys and make off with the loot. The feisty Mary Padian has returned but now she's flying solo. Her search for a new partner leads to unexpected alliances and a ton of laughs. Jenny Grumbles is back and she's polished up her cowgirl boots ready to prove she's here to stay. She charms, schemes and outbids her competition and finds some truly amazing treasures along the way. It's "Storage Wars" as only Texas can present it - larger than life and more fun than a buckin' bronco!

"Storage Wars: Texas" is produced by Original Productions, a FremantleMedia Company for A&E Network. Executive producers are Thom Beers, Philip D. Segal, Jeff Conroy and Tom McMahon. A&E executive producers are Elaine Frontain Bryant and Fred Grinstein.
