Texan here: this makes me kinda proud. As a side note: I briefly lived in the UK. Once while on vacation on the continent a tour guide asked everyone in the group where we came from. The other Americans in the group all said "America" or "the States", but we said "Texas". The tour guide said that's always what Texans say. :-)
