Your last statement is false. Texas has many large 'liberal' metropolitan cities. The state is now purple and a lot more open than people expect, the majority of the state advocates legalize cannabis and the mayor of Houston is gay. Austin actually used to be known for it's libertarian bent.
In fact, there was a discussion on the Austin reddit about this very subject today:

- hkarthik 12y ago> Your last statement is false. Texas has many large 'liberal' metropolitan cities. I agree with this. I've lived in Dallas for 10 years and I've seen a lot of change since I moved here in 2004. The later waves of Asian immigration and other folks fleeing the freezing Northeast winters is starting to make Texas a bit more blue these days. On the flip side, housing is no longer cheap in many areas. If I were to buy a new home the same size as my current, 6 year old home, I would likely have to spend twice as much as I spent in 2008.
