Waco doesn’t really feel country to me. Neither does Tyler. Amarillo is bigger than Waco or Tyler but feels more country. I’d probably go with Odessa though. Longview isn’t over 100k but that’s another one.

The only part of Odessa that feels "country" is the unincorporated West Odessa area, and that's only because it feels trashy-country. Not "nice-country".

Regarding ties of agriculture to the city, not sure anywhere surpasses Lubbock in TX. But it also has the academic and medical communities that lend a non-country vibe, so it's mixed.

Not sure how one would look at this, but Laredo doesn't feel "country" within the city itself, but the city stops so abruptly beyond which is mostly heavily uninhabited ranch/brush country, not sure anywhere else in TX transitions like that.

The non-industrial parts of Beaumont feel "country" to me, remind me of what much of Houston was like decades ago.

It starts feeling real country once you get to the outskirts of Midland and Odessa.Lubbock South on 87 feels that way to me too.but your rite West Odessa is not the best.

I agree. Although it has almost a million people in the city limits, it feel like a big town never the less. It keeps the Metroplex distinct, metropolitan Dallas, Cow Town Ft. Worth
