Dallas does have a rodeo. They host the Black rodeo.

We Fort Worthians will gladly take the honor of being "Most Texan" unlike some cities in Texas we have preserved our history.

That's funny.

As an "outsider", when I think Texas I think Dallas. (The Big D). I've never been close to either Dallas or Houston and only drove past Austin.

Most people do think of Dallas when they think of Texas, but that doesnt mean it is the stereotypical Texas. Fort Worth and San Antonio are much more what people would imagine Texas to be like, but it works for them. Unlike Dallas and Austin who wish they werent in Texas, Fort Worth and San Antonio embrace it on all levels.

Fort Worth has been described as where the West begins, that must mean Dallas is where the East ends. I pick other though and go with San Antonio, large Rodeo scene and is the major city for South Central Texas, much bigger with a well defined cultural identity that Austin 70 miles up the road seems to lack.

Who in Dallas and Austin wishes they weren't part of Texas? There's a lot of Texas pride in both cities...except for the transients and transplants, I suppose.
