The Dwire Family

Karen and Johnny Dwire, shown with little Katie, are owners of Texas Lighting Etc. and have an interesting story. In 1999, Karen, with a passion for decorating and amazing sales talent secured one line of lights and one brand of fans and set out to dazzle home builders with her wares. Having no showroom in the beginning, she loaded her Suburban with catalogs and confidently knocked on their doors.

Being a one woman operation in the beginning, and after having sold the builder her "jewelry for the home", she went about ordering, receiving, delivering, invoicing and collecting for her goods.

Johnny, always traveling in his role as National Sales Manager for western apparel company Panhandle Slim, contributed by tending the financials, on line, from hotel rooms all across the United States.

Fast forward to 2014, now with a beautiful 10,000 square foot, full service showroom and warehouse, staffed with talented and caring designers, an outstanding service department and the respect of many, many custom builders and vendors, Texas Lighting Etc., located on I-20 in Hudson Oaks, between Aledo and Weatherford, continues to serve the DFW Metroplex and beyond with lights, fans, mirrors, clocks and beautiful accessories.
Karen's motto..."We love what we do...and you will too"
