Texas's Coat Pocket

A concealed interior pocket set into Texas's coat, sized to receive small personal items such as a cigar. The pocket presents as a shallow, fabric-lined compartment within outerwear, slightly bulging when occupied; characters access it by slipping a hand in to retrieve or deposit objects. During the casino confrontation, Riker reaches into this pocket to remove a cigar, making the pocket the immediate physical source of a revealing prop.
