Oh, another huge thing I forgot to mention, everyone has incredible Texas pride! You see more Texas flags than you do US flags. Everything down here, commercials, sales, stores, restaurants, you name it is Texas centered. The political stance down here is almost like Texas is a separate country and wants the US government to stay out of its business. I know quite a few federal dollars have been turned down in favor of keeping more control at home. I personally am in favor of giving more power to the states and less to the federal government so that works out well for me.
