Texas can be divided into two sections, the cities and the rural areas.
THE CITIES:
In cities like Dallas and Houston, minorities far outnumber white people. The only people wearing cowboy hats are people from other states, and they generally don't go to the cities (for good reason). There is a Starbucks on every block, and during lunch hour, the line will extend out the door. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio can be very ghetto, in fact. Dallas has the highest murder rate of any city over 1,000,000, and Houston isn't far behind. When on the subway in Dallas, confused tourists will be asking you for directions, while behind you a homeless man will be urinating on the platform, and the people next to you will be speaking spanish. It is indeed a very urban experience (as is everything in Dallas and Houston). People are NOT friendly in the city of Dallas, however, in Houston, people are much more hospitable. Dallasites tend to be very arrogant. 95% of the people in the cities do not have any detectable southern accent, and look down on the people who do.
RURAL AREAS:
Beyond the cities and their suburbs, however, lies a completely different Texas. "The Country" is where people in the cities go for recreation (such as camping or boating) and thats about it. People are far less educated than they are in the cities, and have heavy southern accents. Fireworks stands will be on every street, instead of Starbucks, and most people will have a gun. The people here are for the most part seeking a humble existance, and are very kind and hospitable people. People in the cities tend to view these people as uneducated hicks, rightly or wrongly.
That pretty much sums up Texas.
Oh Yeah, Austin is really Berkeley, California reincarnated in Texas.

Californian: You have to be kidding me, you're from Texas? I thought it was only steers and queers?
Texas: ...sigh... and you call us ignorant?

a state in the southern United States where minorities such as Hispanics and African-Americans highly outnumber white people; a small percent of the white people are ignorant racist rednecks, that make the rest of them look like idiots

The krunkest, most off da chain state in the USA. ALL you hoes that don't like TEXAS can kiss ass and go to hell with gasoline panties on cuz ya'll don't know what the fuck ya talkin' 'bout. Texas provides for all of the rest of you poor insufficient losers. ya'll ought to be thankful for a great state like us that does so much for every body else in this stinkin' country. Texas is where every thing krunk happens. The Kappa, Hoop it up, WE GOT SIX FLAGS!! (over Texas) And besides that everything is always bigger in Texas and bigger is always better.

i wasnt born in texas, i was born in connecticut. i eventually moved to texas, and i never plan on leaving. i have lived everywhere, england, california, alabama. texas kicks major ass. lemme clear up a few things for u fucking retards:
1) texas doesnt have the highest concentration of gays in the US california does. ever heard of san francisco? it is one of the 10 most populated cities in the US and it is the gay capital of the US. go to san francisco and i bet u wont find many straight clubs. thats where u belong anyway
2) "heard of the silicon valley? also, Microsoft is in Washington"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! everyone, if u give a shit about where microsoft hq is, let me know................. anyone?...................out there?...........someone?................guess not
3) "don't make any comments about Arnold Schwarzenegger. he's still Republican, while California isn't"
Well now,...... could u please tell me how the fuck that managed to happen? i didnt realize political parties could make u blush.
4) "george bush also won the state of Texas in the 2000 presidential election"
i would think that would happen 'cuz he is a republican and so is texas, dumbfuck.
5) "i'm sure alaskans would say their weather isn't bad, because they're used to it."
california has earthquakes, they can sometimes kill thousands of people at a time, but thats ok, im sure they are all used to it.
6) "however, you don't see anyone moving to Texas for the weather, do you?"
hold on, i must have missed when you made a logical point out of this statement. why the hell would anyone move anywhere because of weather. if weather really bothers u that much, stay the fuck indoors, pussy.
7) "snow and hail, in the middle of summer"
i could not stop myself after reading this one. i had to get on the floor and roll laughing for at least 10 minutes. it doesnt snow in texas u imbecil. and hail, i havent seen hail in this state in 6 years. how could it snow this far south. that is the kind of genious thinking that got the Governator elected.
8) "the corrupt oil tycoons, Enron executives"
yeah i know, enron was started in texas, so what? am i supposed to feel ashamed of myself. it aint workin yet. wherever u live ought to be ashamed of themselves because of a failure like u. i didnt even understand the sentence i took this quote from, i took the most coherent part. u need to go back to preschool english class where a shit for brains dumbfuck like u belongs.
9) yes, we do have (and use) the death penalty."
"-this is something to be happy about..? if this is meant to be impressive, Utah's death penalty is death by firing squad. and, yes, they use it to"
death by firing squad eh? trust me, i give a shit. no really (cough). is THAT something to brag about. well at least i can brag about intelligence instead of how people get killed in a state. Utah uses firing squads, WHOPPIE!! u just made my day. but i'll humor u with the ooooooooooooo and aaaaaaaaaaah i think u were after.
Texas is a fine state which deserves no ridicule at all. u can either love texas, or get the fuck out.
