Texas is bigger than France. We have humid hot near or on the beach to deserts with fancy rocks to snow.
I live outside of Houston. Humid and hot in the summer (like Florida), and wonderful mild all the other seasons. In free time, I’m a gardener and grow stuff just about year round. Houston has a lot of arts and stuff. Rodeos, boar hunting, bar-be-que cook offs and roasts, etc. Beach at Galveston close by...but not too close, if you know what I mean. We travel through hill country every spring to see the wild flowers. Too liberal in Austin for me. But they have great bars and bands so we put on our boots and go there to drink and dance sometimes. I do art and gov. contract stuff so I have to go to Austin for business sometimes.
Everything is anything but prim and proper with building and such. Like the opposite of New England. If you are a tad snobbish, you won’t like it. It’s a super unique and funny, yet plain or straight culture. Generally, really down to earth, nice people. I lived in all parts of the US and returned to Texas.
I wasn’t born in Texas but I got here as soon as I could.

“Too liberal in Austin for me.”
Well, it’s got to be less liberal than Seattle (where I am now).
