I would NEVER claim to be from Texas.
"Texas! Where the cactus grows, the wind blows, the oil flows, and the farmer owes. A place where you'll see more rivers with less water, more cows that give less milk,more trees with less shade and meet more people that you'll think less of than any other state in the union!" Woody Guthrie
I'm a North Carolinian born and bred as have been my fathers for seven generations.
Pretend to be a Texan indeed! I'd as soon pretend to be a Campbell!
