It still is to an extent, but there has been, and continues to be, a considerable amount of interstate migration into ETX from the west. Give it 5-10 years and it's likely no longer "deep south"
You talking like Tyler Longview area? That was never really Deep South like Lufkin Nacogdoches is. Deep ETX will always be Deep South. Hence the name.

Never really ventured into SE Texas aside from playing a few rounds in Sabine, I meant C & NE. Coincidentlally, those areas on I-20 and 30 should see significant growth moving forward given they're a ~midpoint between most SEC metros and Austin

Tennessee isn't deep south
Western Tennessee - west of about Jackson or so - is the Deep South.
Conversely, I wouldn’t really consider the northern third or so of Alabama (and Georgia north of Atlanta) or the northwestern upstate section of South Carolina to be the Deep South. The culture, demographics, and history are more Appalachian or upper Piedmont than Deep South. The chasm between Huntsville and Montgomery or Mobile is pretty big a ditto Memphis or Jackson to Knoxville.
Also, there are areas of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia that belong in the conversation - they are kind of their own Tidewater region in some ways but the similarities are striking.

Far western KY should be considered deep south. They grow cotton there and have cypress swamps. There was a few cotton plantations in the jackson purchase as well.

If you run your AC for 7/8’s out of the year, you are in the deep south.

Around Beaumont.

I would not consider any of Texas Deep South. The whole state identifies with the State of Texas identity. They hate Louisiana and the other southern states.
That is why it is ridiculous for anyone to be a Dallas Cowboy fan or Texas Longhorn fan.

I don't know. But I do know what is not the South: any part of Texas, Arkansas, or North Carolina, and south Florida.

I have lived across the Mississippi River from the Jackson Purchase most of my life and have never seen a single boll of cotton there. They still have some fire cured and burley tobacco but it is nothing like it used to be.

Maybe Little Rock to savanna?
Cuts off Memphis though. Probably not a straight line.

Deep south. States bordering Gulf except Texass

Alabama, my home state, is obviously in there. But I would specify that SW Alabama between Hwy. 82 (Montgomery to Miss. border) and I-65 (Montgomery to Mobile) is as culturally and historically Deep South as it gets.

Deep South is pretty much south of Tennessee (excluding Memphis).
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida panhandle

This is the best map of the Deep South I’ve seen.
It really is, except I can’t speak to how far south it goes into the state of Florida. Im not saying it’s inaccurate, I’m just unsure.
They really got the Tennessee portion right, however. I’ve spent enough time all over the state in the past 40 years to vouch for its accuracy.
Memphis, culturally, is pretty Deep South. Nashville, Franklin, Cookville, the Cumberland Plateau, Knoxville, Bristol, Chattanooga…absolutely not.
Nashville never was — even prior to its boom. It always resembled more of Cincinnati (which, maybe surprisingly to some, does have a “southern” feel) than say…Mobile.
Knoxville greatly differs from Nashville. I’d say Chattanooga would be “closest” to the Deep South, culturally, but it still isn’t. They are all “southern” (probably Nashville would be the least — again, even prior to its “boom”), but they are far from the Deep South.
