Louisiana people living in Texas - Are you a Texan?

Do you identify as a Texan after living in Tx for a while or are you simply a Louisianan that resides in Tx?

You can identify as whatever you want these days. Doesn't make it true.
You need to be born in Texas to be a native Texan. And you have to assimilate if you are an outsider to even be considered a Texan at all.

Man I don’t know about that birth thing. There seems to be a lot of people not born here claiming to be Texans

My house is on the market in Baton Rouge and all my shite is there but I’ve been living in Texas since December 4th in an Air BNB. I had to move into a new air BNB last night but I’ve got this one for a couple of months.
I had a great time my 12 years in Baton Rouge and yes I consider myself a Texan but I was born here and lived here for 20 years. Most Texans will tell you that you need to be born here to consider yourself a Texan.
I made a post on Texas Gun talk about officially being a Texan after I moved and they

Louisiana may have its shortcomings, but you always claim your birthplace with pride.

Louisiana people living anywhere should take more pride in their home state. Texans do that everywhere they go in almost every setting. Even the ones that only lived there for a few minutes.
While annoying, it's also kind of admirable.

Texas doesn't even have a culture outside of west Texas these days. Just the worlds biggest sprawl of mcmansions, strip shopping centers, and 10 lane highways.

Texas should be able to handle the migrants since they’ve been dealing with migrants from Louisiana that had to move there just to find a job for so long

I wasn't born in Texas but I git here as soon as I could.
My home will always be Louisiana though, wouldn't mind moving back to a lake once I retire.

I'll always admit that I'm a Louisiana boy but I'll never move back.

That’s the cringiest propaganda that Tx loves to push.
My deal with people moving to Tx is that it’s inevitable. It’ll happen. There’s just not enough people coming from states like Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma. There’s too many coming from states like California, New York and Florida.

If you didn't take a Texas History class in middle school...you're not a Texan.

I'm getting close to living in Texas as long as Louisiana.
My ties to LA are getting fewer and fewer as relatives pass away and friends move.
Each year I'm here, I feel less and less connected to LA.
I identify much more with the Hill Country vibe lifestyle than LA.
Don't miss much about NOLA at all. Lafayette is fun to visit friends but outside of that, I have no desire to ever spend time in LA.

Vast majority. As in 95% of the transplants in Tx live in the “Texas triangle” I.e suburban sprawl.
The notion that people move to Texas and live on a ranch with livestock is laughable. The only ones living like that are generational families who have had land passed down multiple times.

It’s cool but the lack of greenery and food sucks. Food is bland, it doesn’t really have identity. Doesn’t know if it wants to be southern or Mexican.
Good luck finding decent Italian food.

eta: I guess it could feel that way if you had only lived in one place for your entire life before moving? I moved around as a kid and as a younger adult so maybe i'm a special snowflake.
