Texas Gold follows the adventures of one of the most unlikely muckrakers of this generation: Diane Wilson -- mother of five, fourth generation fisherwoman, and Public Enemy No. 1 in Calhoun County, Texas.

From Texas to Wall Street to the front lawn of former Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson's multi-million dollar mansion on Long Island -- all the while chased by Texas Rangers charged with bringing her to justice -- Diane pursues a reckless industry with a soft drawl, dogged determination and her own special brand of southern bad-ass fisherwoman humor.

In the 16 years since she began her fight, Diane has received death threats and suffered intimidation tactics; shots were fired at her house from a helicopter and her dog was poisoned.
