(And I take, as my justification for being allowed to say that, the fact that I've lived in East Texas for 12 years!)

No mention of the south I know, but it was an opportunity to take a shot at Big D.

By 'the south' I'm referring to the states south of the Mason-Dixon Line.'the succession states, if you like.

Hey.. so I was thinking that maybe Texas is 'southern' in the same way that Donegal is Northern..?

Re: Northern Ireland guy in Texas
I think Texas can be split in diffrent areas and fit into diffrent cultural regions of the US, North Texas, (around Dallas to the Oklahoma state line) Southern, East Texas (Tylar, Texarkana to just north of Houston) Southern, Houston Southern but very cosmopolitan, Hill Country (Austin and San Antonio) California in Texas, Pan handle Southern Rio Grande Valley Mexico under US rule, Trans Pecos (El Paso and far west Texas) Western.
