This is why I was making the distinction between dominance and influence.Having some influence doesnt mean its the dominating influential factor but just a small part of many influences.
As far as any other city in the entire South,there is no other city that represents the South collectively within a much wider reach,than Atlanta.Just my IMO from what I see and hear

In Hip Jop and music Atlanta looms large all over the US.
Waffle House,Chick-fil A,Home Depot,Coca Cola can be seen all over Texas in much the same way LA,NYC,has invaded cultures across the country in every region.
Of course its not anywhere near the level of those cities but you said little to none so which is it?Little or none?

Little to none not or. You know what I mean. Meaning Atlanta isn’t on the radar in Texas nearly 100% of the time. Only curiosity. Nothing else. It might as well be in a different region. But if you want to me to be absolute. None and there is no reason to be influenced by Atlanta. There’s a pappadeux in Atlanta, is it influenced by Houston now? Dr Pepper I’m sure is sold in Atlanta. Is it influenced by Waco?

No. ATL had no influence on Texas.

By the way you say Waffle House is all over the South but you are forgetting Texas based chains such as Chilli's and La Madeline are all over the place too. When about ExxonMobil, connoco Phillips, etc etc.
Chains are chains for a reason. They are everywhere and does not speak to dominance or influence.

Yeh and theres 100s of Arbys,Chick fil A,Krystals,Popeyes,Moes Southwestern ,Zaxbys etc also
Pappadeaux nor Dr.Pepper are representative of Texas or a whole region like Waffle House is to the South or Coke or Trap music etc.
Many artist around the world including Houston have been influenced by Atlanta music scene.
Even though they have their own sound in Houston it hasnt influenced outside of Houston

Once agian. Amyone who knows the culture of the South is familiar with Waffle House.
There are about 30 -40 Chilis in the state of Georgia.More than half in the Atlanta metro.
There are at least 40 in the Dallas Ft,Worth area alone.
Waffle House are even in rural areas unlike Chillis or La Madeline which I personally have seen but never been into

And what does love and Hip Hop have to do with artist in Houston who make music using a style developed and promoted in Atlanta?
Even Beyonce ihas been doing Trap for years now

Beyonce joins the Trap music bandwagon

Now please explain to me how none of this is influence?

Who In Houston besides the dude that made that flick of the wrist song has been influenced by Atlanta? To say Houston’s music scene hasn’t influenced anybody outside Houston would be false. Ask ASAP rocky if he wasn’t influenced by Houston. Or plenty of Cleveland artists or even Big KRIT. And Pappadeux or Dr Pepper isn’t representative of Texas? That’s laughable. You think Tex Mex is Texas right? What about Chuys? That’s in Atlanta and based in Texas. You’re trying your hardest to say Atlanta has influence in Texas. Texans are telling you it doesn’t.

Well I think the influence goes both ways.Sure Tex Mex is really popular across the South.I have no problem admitting that.
As I said before there is a reason 3 of the 10 busiest Domestic routes are from Atlanta and not one Texas city.Something is going on there.

Partly because before the trap music scene, Houston sound was indeed as popular and as influenced throughout many portions of the South. Especially in the western part of the south. Also -about the airports, it tells me little. I don’t know much about airline industries. But I hope you’re not saying Texans have to fly through Atlanta to get anywhere. Unless Delta isn’t involved, the chances of Texans needing to fly through Atlanta is very low. I’m flying from DC to Dallas next week and have no need to fly through Atlanta.

The point is every region has had some prominence in music at one time or another but Atlanta has had it going on over 20 years now and its world wide!
What you are talking about lasted less than a decade with some small prominence in the U,S, but mostly the SOuth and it was not ever THE main or ONLY sound in music but one of many.
No you totally mossed what I said about airline routes.

Domestically there are several routes between certain cities in the U.S. that are well traveled the most by Americans.Like MYC to LA or LA to SF or Chicago to NY.
Here is the list
