Okay.
I was born and raised in Houston.
So lets tell the truth.
-The weather in Texas changes very rapidly, and we get a bit of everything, except snow. That doesn't come around very often.
-We don't get married to our sisters or even distant cousins. A shock. I know. If you want to see some of that go to Oklahoma.
-Not everyone here talks with a distinct country accent.
You have to go to the smaller towns for that. Lufkin, Etoile, Waco, etc. It all depends on what area of Texas you were born in. People move here from New York and California all the time, and we don't sound any diffrent.
Our slang is the only true thing that seperates us.
-Yes, we have racism here. Just like any other state, but it's not as bad as people make it sound. The Africans, Mexicans, and Orientals, etc. out number us by more the 50%.
-Taking hits to our pride by informing us we cuss to much (yes, 'cuss') is low. We cuss just as much as anyone in California, or Florida would.
-No one walks around here in in full cowboy uniform. So if you think we do, maybe you should visit before opening your mouth.
Of course you are going to think the place you live is better than Texas. What kind of dumbfuck wouldn't stick up for there state, and if you wouldn't. Why the hell do you still live there?

the 2nd biggest state in the USA in the south. alot of things in TX are bigger. or at least ppl say they are. this state has long droughts. aka the lone star state due to the one star on its state flag. the ONLY state to have 6 flags flown over it. thats why they made a whole amusement park called 6 Flags Over Texas.
'bigger in Tx, better in a dodge!'
see? even dodge admits that things in TX are bigger!

As the great American author John Steinbeck put it:
"I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect it for fear of losing their bearings in mystery or paradox. But I think there will be little quarrel with my feeling that Texas is one thing. For all its enormous range of space, climate, and physical appearance, and for all the internal squabbles, contentions, and strivings, Texas has a tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other section of America. Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study and the passionate possession of all Texans."
According to CNN Money.com, out of the "Top 100 best places to live in 2006", 10 were in Texas (which lead the nation)
