Premiering Sunday, TCU freshman Amber Hatley will make her television debut as a cast member of Style Network’s “Big Rich Texas.”

The 18-year-old Colleyville native will appear on the reality show with her 16-year-old sister, Shaye, and her mother DeAynni. The three are the newest members of the cast going into the second season.

Hatley said they were chosen for the show after sitting down with producers and discussing their family life, what they do in school and their extracurricular activities.

“Big Rich Texas” gives viewers insight into the lives of six Dallas women and their children, all of whom are members of the Woodhaven Country Club in Fort Worth.

Hatley said she met the cast this fall for the first time in her home, and with cameras rolling and lighting, the initial interaction was a bit awkward.

“I was meeting them for the first time on the show so it made it a little uncomfortable at first,” Hatley said. “But now when I see them, we’re all friends.”

Over time, Hatley also became more comfortable with the cameras following her around, but still gets nervous when going to different locations to shoot, she said.

Hatley said being on the show has not changed her relationships or her day-to-day life so far, but people continue to tell her things will begin to change once the season actually airs.

However, seeing a picture of an ad for the show in Times Square recently was really exciting, Hatley said.

Hatley had never seen the show before being cast, and watched the entire season after joining. The show was hard to watch because by that time she had met all of the people on the show, she said.

“I wanted to ask them about different things that they had said or did in the last season, forgetting that I was not allowed to do that,” she said.

Hatley said she hoped through watching the show viewers would get a more realistic look at what Dallas was really like.

“Our ad has a picture of the longhorn on it, and its just kind of like ‘stereotypical Texas,’” she said. “I’ve never even rode a horse before.”

Although Hatley said she did not know what to expect once the show aired, she hoped viewers would get the opportunity to see the “real her.”

“There’s no script or anything,” Hatley said. “I just hope that people don’t perceive me in a way that’s different than who I am.”
