I would agree and tell you that the older neighborhoods (River Oaks, Heights, Memorial Park, etc...) are what would drive my opinion to believe that Houston is far more southern-acting than noted here. I suppose the same argument could be made for Dallas' older neighborhoods, but I still say it's too much of a midwestern melting pot to be considered "southern". Northern Oklahoma...

The best way to describe it is Dallas is a small piece of Chicago that drifted south and got lost. The Woodlands or Katy might be trying to be southern, but Houston isn't for the most part. Hang out in Atlanta for five minutes and you will see the difference.
Texas is its own country.
