Pump the breaks Stef. That much land and the only cool place is Austin. Texas is kinda a waste of space. In terms of big states Cali > Texas and in terms of cities Austin barley cracks the top 5 in the US. Texas has the best BBQ and an F1 race, so that makes up for its hickness.

I’m born and raised in New York and I’ve never herd of Texas being referred to as the south. The “south” is usually mississippi, bama, georgia, and the carolinas. Texas is just Texas, it’s its own thing. One is Cowboys, the other is deliverance.
