Having grown up in Central Texas, I absolutely have a Texas drawl in my back pocket whenever I want it, but generally my accent is just standard American + overuse of "y'all". The drawl comes out usually for comedic effect or if I recently talked to my dad on the phone. I don't think I've considered either aspect of my accent advantageous. I might feel differently if my accent was deeply southern, however.
