Both. Definitely Western, and for obvious 19th century reasons have the
right to call themselves Southern. Texas is so big, though. I spent most
of the time, that I have spent there, many years ago. If the Mexican
population has increased the same way, in areas, as have AZ & NM, then part
of the Southern part of the state could be considered a 'third' category?

I consiuder parts of South Louisiana a kind of 'third" category. Their
sympathies are certainly Southern, but the Cajun cutlure ceratinly sets it
apart from the rest of the State, region, & country. I loved the time I
spent in S. LA., 'could do anything; and the best food I've ever
eaten...................................
