That's interesting perspective you bring, Mr. Mississippi; but it's not exactly correct. Texas is from the Caddo Indian word "teyshas" (meaning "friends" or "allies").

Texas is not the South although there are a lot of cultural similarities. Dallas and Houston are huge sprawling metro areas with people from all over the country and all over the world. Houston i/m/o has a truley international aspect to it. In adddition to the Hispanic influence, there are a lot of Asians there and Dallas as well. Austin has more in common with Berkeley than it does with any other SEC college town with the exception of maybe Athens. Fort Worth feels very "Western" and after FW, civilization basically ends.
