I can tell Texas accents apart from one another
Its pretty easy for me having been born and raised here.
To me the two easiest accents to discern are 'panhandle", which is really twangy. East texas is real drawn out. It has to do with the way they pronounce their "r's". The vally is also real easy to discern, because of the influence of spanish. For instance, people will say "Do you want to go to the store, or no?" Only someone from the valley wil bust out with the "or no." Everynow and then someone will call me out as being from the panhandle. I dont think I have had that accent since I left tho. Always catches me off guard. My friends charity and leslie from back home still have their west texas drawl. "oh my gawish!" Like they put extra syllables in theirwords.
