re: Is Texas southern or western?

East Texas until Houston is as shitty as most Southern States. Like Beaumont would fit perfectly in ghetto arse Louisiana.

Houston is it's own animal. Definitely not western or Southern. International City.

San Antonio starts to get more of a SW Flair. Once you get west of the Hill Country, the sky opens up and the West begins. South of San Antonio is more like an extension of Northern Mexico. North of Dallas is the Great Plains all the way to Canada.

Very unique state and I like it all minus the East and Far South.
