This guy doesn’t sound like a typical Texan. The clues I picked up on from your post which point to an elitist left leaning liberal (besides his very un-neighborly actions) start with his degrees from SMU & UT, and include residence in various liberal locals like Austin & Houston, as well as his previous employment with west coast tech type companies.
Not the kind of background for someone in which I’d have a lot of trust or confidence. My guess is that he would turn up his nose and sneer at a typical Texan. IF he grew up here, he didn’t learn much.
