Texas is the south central wiki even states that. The only region of Texas that can be considered the Southwest is the Pecos region in west texas.
The problem with this view is that the entire western half of Texas has as much or more in common with points west than points east. While the Trans Pecos IS the southwest, west Texas is very similar in many ways.

George Wallace did disproportionately well in all of Texas except for the very heavily Hispanic areas and parts of Central TX
Looks like he did below average in Travis County and above average in Northern Virginia. But Austin is only liberal because of California transplants, right?

I know your post is tongue in cheek, but no, it's just always been like that.
This is true to a point but the fact of the matter is that land, weather, water, terrain, minerals, crops, and other factors affect and "culture" as much as anything else.
I live on the great plains and have lived in the southeast and in the southwest. I have lived in Lubbock and in Alpine, Tx and this is easy to see if you have actually LIVED in these places. West Texas is a combination of southern and southwestern elements. Ironically, in Alpine people will say that it is in the southwestern part of Texas...but it still has some vestiges of southerness as well.
Heck, southern Arizona/New Mexico (where you live) was a confederate territory and has had (and still does) confederate memorials and the like. So even the southwest has some "southern" heritage.

Not sure the point you’re trying to make considering he did well in places well outside the south.
Some isolated counties but he basically swept the south. I’d guess 90% of his counties were in the south?
