Biography[]

Tex Sawyer was a Caucasian male member of the cannibalistic Sawyer family and lived in the U.S. state of Texas in the late 1980s. His nickname was Tex, and he hated being called by his given name. As being one of the more seemingly well-adjusted and attractive members of the family, Tex was often used as the "lure", by which they could coax potential victims into a state of vulnerability, whereupon they would be captured, butchered, and then consumed by the Sawyers.

Equipment[]

  • Axe: Tex Sawyer used an axe during his fight with Benny.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Final fate: Set on fire and burned to death by Benny.
  • Tex Sawyer's sexuality is somewhat ambiguous. In one scene, he is shown wearing a woman's cooking apron and has nail polish on.
  • The continuity between this film and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is very unclear, though a narrative given at the beginning of the movie suggests that both films take place in the same internal continuity. However, it is unclear what Tex's relationship to the original Sawyer family members is.
  • Tex's relationship to the rest of the Sawyer household in this film is also unclear. In all likelihood, he is Anne's son, and a sibling of Alfredo, Tinker, and Junior.

Victims[]

  • No established victims.
  • It is possible that Tex may have likely murdered people in the past, but he was most often used as a lure to draw victims in so that Leatherface could conduct that actual execution.
