Fiji Hill’s post in this thread mentions Fredericksburg. It’s been ten years since I was last there during a summer festival. It seemed to still be true to Texas values and culture. Unlike New Braunfels, which is right on a highway to Mexico, Fredericksburg benefits by being a bit harder for the criminal invaders to get to.
There’s a song that has this snippet of lyrics
Hitch hiked to Rome
Took a Greyhound to Fredricksburg
Well I’m flat out broke
Been smoking butts for days
