"South" Texas Redfish and Trout

[D_Walt]

North Texas is the part of the state that is within an hour or so of DFW. If you call the panhandle North Texas the locals will have a fit because everyone knows that Amarillo is West Texas...

Unless your from El Paso. That there is true West Texas, unlike them flatlanders in the panhandle.

The town of West, Texas is actually in the eastern half of the state. But my god do not call that East Texas because everyone knows that terminology is reserved for the pine curtain east of IH45 where the landscape, culture and accents resemble more of the Old South than they do the rest of the lone star state. Pineywoods locals would disagree that Houston and the gulf coast is a part of their region.

If the bbq joints do not have sauce, you are in Central Texas. If they serve tacos and barbacoa, you are in South Texas.

Edit: Another way to tell where you are is if you use the word "Kolache" to refer to something with meat in it, and somebody corrects you, you are in Central Texas. If they don't and they carry on with the conversation, you are still in Texas, just not the central part. If they ask "What is a Kolache" you are probably in kansas.

Nailed it

This thread makes me ashamed of living in Texas... and more ashamed that I had the same thoughts about "South" when you said you were by Houston.
