Never ask a man if he is from Texas.

If he is, he will tell you soon enough.

If he is not, you will just embarrass him.

Steve, having lived in Austin ( where you go when you want to go to Texas) I knew many a wonderful Texans, and a plethora of conceited, obnoxious, unbearable transplants that wanted to be Texans SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD it was funny to watch.
I have Zero issues with anyone moving to Texas because they love it. I loved my years there, despite the 106 degrees and 99 percent humidididy.

I do not mean to infer all transplants are such, and If I did not make myself clear I apologize most profusely sir.

The "concrete cowboys" are the individuals to which I refer.

Yep, the "concrete" or "rhinestone" cowboys make those of us who actually grew up on a ranch/farm cringe. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is quite large and brings out the best of the "wanna-be" cowboys and girls. I'm still trying to figure out why the women feel the need to put on so much silver and rhinestones. Do they really think thats how country people dress? geezzzz..... but, the vendors do love it!

Hey!!!!! Austin ain't the only great place in Texas. I was born "n" rasied in a little town called Dallas and If I didn't love Las Vegas so much that's where I'd be.
