Louisiana is a frontier state, so they cannot be the Southeast for the same reason East Texas can't. And yes, Houston is a part of ET. It's the big city manifestation of East Texas.
Houston is not a part of East Texas. East Texas ends right at the area that borders the Houston metro. Houston is a gulf coast city, not an East Texas city. If anything it is in SOUTHEAST Texas, which is a different region from East Texas.

He doesn't post here anymore but we tried telling him this when he was here. There was a thread in the Houston forum about it. Nobody in Texas has referred to Houston as East Texas. It's always been the gulf coast or southeast Texas.

I guess it would depend on however you choose to look at it. I see "East Texas" as its own region outside of both the Houston and DFW metro areas. There are no clearly defined borders, but it's usually attributed to a largely rural and much slower pace of life.
On the other hand there is the argument that Houston, is in Southeast Texas and Southeast Texas is a subregion of East Texas. Technically this is correct, even though you won't hear anyone in the Golden Triangle call themselves East Texans.

Do you think rural east Texas is slower pace of life compared to rural central Texas.
