There's just certain things about Texans that set us apart from people in other states. Maybe it's our Southern charm, our world-renowned BBQ, our unmatched landscape, or just the fact that we have so much pride in our state. Whatever it is, the following are surefire signs that you were born and raised in the Lone Star State (and proud to say so!)
1) You're a die-hard nature lover and know Texas is the most beautiful state in the country, without a doubt.
2) No matter how many times you've eaten BBQ, you cannot get enough of it.
3) You think Whataburger = happiness. And deliciousness.
4) Your idea of a good time is going to a rodeo..
5) ..or to a dance hall for some Texas Two Steppin'..
6) ..or spending the afternoon lazily floating down a river with a nice cold beer.
7) You watch football religiously, and couldn't imagine your life without it.
8) You get genuinely excited when you see a plate full of Tex Mex in front of you.
9) This map accurately portrays the amount of pride you have in your state.
