"Growing up near the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi, Longoria said he frequently went to the museum and purchased little trinkets or received merchandise as gifts. But Longoria told KXAN he credited his grandmother, a bona fide Elvis Presley enthusiast, with inspiring his own collection," the Concho Valley says.

"His family’s traditions included gifting her Elvis-related presents each Christmas. That spark helped set off his own tribute to Selena and memorabilia surrounding her legacy.
