I'm from Houston but I have to go with Dallas. When you bring up Texas Cowboys and Dallas go hand in hand. Houston and Austin are like Texas best kept secrets.

Austin gives you a taste of California including the scenery/and politics. It's one of the most scenic cities in the state with it's lakes/rivers/ hills and rocky cliffs.
Houston gives you international/texas/louisiana/mexican culture all in one with wet and hot climate.

If anything Dallas is the most known in general. Then Houston. Then SA for history. SA is not what I think of when I think of Texas except for the Alamo.
