I worked in Dallas for a few months; I loved the pic someone had on their wall, of a globe that was all ocean except for a massive Texas. Hah !
TX people are great. Friendly, but quiet about it. I always thought of them as kind of a cross between NJ and Georgia.
I especially love the “independent streak” that seems common there. IMHO, they don’t make a show of it, they just sort of always “reserve the right” to make their own decisions in a quiet but very firm way.
