I always think it's funny how when people picture Texas in their head they seem to think back to those old cowboy movies with semi-arid rocky lands full of buttes, bluffs, and box canyons. Then everyone is dressed in cowboy hats and western shirts!
While it is true there are semi arid lands in Texas (see
Big Bend National Park) it also has beautiful
Hill Country but is mostly plains, prairie (Where I'm from), huge wetlands and coast. In fact, Houston is basically built on a swamp.
And as for the Western wear, I um... usually don't wear it. *snicker*
