South Texas is a third cultural area, also mostly small towns and rural, but majority Spanish-speaking, and quite a bit different culturally than the Anglo parts of rural Texas. However I don't think Norwegians using this slang term are thinking of any of those kinds of Texas. They're instead thinking of the Texas where you ride into town on a horse with a six-shooter hanging from your belt, kicking up a cloud of dust while banjo music plays furiously, jump off your horse, and burst through swinging saloon doors.
