Just about all of Texas is Southern culturally and linguistically. This includes Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Amarillo. Only the southwestern/western extremities of Texas aren't Southern. Texas is 90% Southern, 10% Southwestern.

I think I would agree with this, but East Texas is really the only part that has geographic similarity from what I've seen.

What exactly gets people to this conclusion?
It is that whole flat/hilly stuff? We were discussing the other day about how despite having pretty high peaks, large portions of many western states are just pancake flat. So that can't be it. What then climate? That can't be it either because even under the much more accurate Twertha system, majority of Texas still falls under the humid subtropical zone.

I'm no expert on Texas, but I am curious as to what makes some people think they are so geographically different.
I'd say that it's because Texas contains biomes that do not exist in the rest of the Southeast. My area of the south is hilly/mountainous, and completely forested. I've not really seen the same in Texas.

Well yeah, the South is really diverse when it pertains to landscape; there's the Piedmont region, which is pretty much nonexistent in Texas, then there's the Gulf, which Houston is apart of.
To a certain degree, most of Texas largest cities are relatively flat compared to southern cities within the Piedmont region.

Central, west, and southwest Texas LOOK and FEEL very different from any other southern state. That's why people "get to this conclusion."
