Linguistically speaking, Texas falls squarely in the "Coke for soda" camp - perhaps El Paso excepted.
I forget where I read a recent study, but yes, it is "Texas slang".
As to "Daisy Dukes" - I think it may be more of a generational thing than regional. "Short shorts" and "hiphuggers" were/are used by those of a certain age.
