Why would that have anything to do with it?
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.

Most people tend to think of Texas as like west Texas - they don't realize that Texas has 5 distinct geographical areas. Texas has everything from mountains to beaches - it really is "A Whole 'Nother Country."
I'm from an east Texas family (7 generations - ancestor fought at the Battle of Bexar) and they are most assuredly southern. Tyler, Jasper, Henderson - very southern. Dallas - some parts and citizens yes, some no. El Paso - not southern at all. You get the idea.

My daughter lives in a suburb of Dallas--Frisco, and she works in Plano. What are they considered?

The only place that I would live in Dallas would be Highland or University Park. I pretty much despise the Dallas suburbs.....and wouldn't consider them Southern in any way, shape, or form.

Thanks, honeychile. I was eating lunch with my children in Texas when this loud, obnoxious woman came in and loudly told her friend "I just saw a minivan with a Confederate flag sticker and a Yale sticker - isn't that an oxymoron?"
It was my car. Only the fact that I had 4 children with me, including one infant and one toddler, kept me from going over and explaining that, no, there is nothing oxymoronic about it - it is entirely possible to be 1.) southern and 2.) well-educated. Jeez.
OH - and I'm working on my DRT!!!

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!

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