Do you agree with the following? can i understand that Texas is georgraphically west, and culturally south?

TX is more western, but yes in the south. And as far as "Deep South" I also dis-agree (with the same answer, that's places like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc.) especially when you think about Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin (the main cities). No, not everyone votes republican, yes you saw some McCain-Palin bumper stickers every now and again, but you also see Democratic stickers. I don't know ANYONE who owns a firearm, except my uncle in ARIZONA! And, yes, great culinary here, many local places you can't get anywhere else (actually I don't know what your getting at by that sentence). And I agree with the second answerer with all the battles, TX has TONS of history that you learn in 7th grade+, and that's why we are the only state in the US that can fly their flag as high as the American flag.
