Why do you think it is a "Real South" state? I don't...and I was born and raised in Texas. Again, I think Texas is in a class of its own......and that East Texas is the only part of Texas that could be considered truly Southern.

When was the last time you looked at a map land hunter? Texas is South, just because the state has several geograhic areas doesnt meant its not. Why is Dallas surburbia not South, because they are riding horses? Please check the differences in human geography and physical geography! Texas is the southermost part of the Great Plains.. look that up if you need too!

Talk about somebody completely missing the point.

We are, I believe, discussing the cultural, rather than the geographical, south.

I agree with macallan25, SWTXBelle, and shinerbock on this.

I would pretty much say that anything east of the Brazo River could (might/use to) be considered culturally Southern. Or at least linked to the ways and traditions of the South as it may be historically "stereotyped" and or classified. The rest of Texas - bless it's heart - would be considered "western". Or simply "Texas" at best. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
