I feel that Texas is its own region, but if anything, Houston would be more southern than western.

Houston is definitely the Deep South. A large portion of Houstonians actually have roots in the golden triangle and other parts of East Texas. From Sabine county all the way down to Port Arthur you have generations of families who went further west looking for better economic opportunities and they took every aspect of the rich East Texas culture with them.

Sweet tea anyone?

Wow, I didn't realize Louisiana and the Deep South was that international, and nearly half Hispanic.
