I'm from Texas. It's just another state in the U.S. I'm not racist, I've never worn a cowboy hat or boots, I've never ridden a horse or owned livestock. I don't have a truck. I've never said "Don't mess with Texas" or "Everythings bigger in Texas". I'm not an idiot, my I.Q. Is 125. I don't have sex with relatives. I don't own a flag. I've never been to a rodeo. I'm not a religious person, and I hate country music. There are stereotypical Texans here but not everyone is one of them. And out of all of the definitions for Texas (positive or otherwise) mine has better grammar. (And I am currently 16 years old. Male.)
Texas

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?

Contrary to popular belief, Texas is not the only state that has once been its own independent nation. Hawaii, California, South Carolina, Vermont, and the no longer existant West Florida all have histories of being their own nations. North Carolina and Rhode Islands were also briefly their own nations as well.
Texas does not have the right to secede from the Union, but it does however, have the right to split itself into as many as five states on the approval of its legislature for the purpose of increased Senate representation.
Texas is the second largest state in the US in terms of both area and population, with Alaska being larger and California more populous.
