I'd move Texas from "southwestern" into "southern".
It is culturally Southern and only a little over
100 miles from Louisiana.


Not all of Texas is culturally Southern. Not all of Texas is
ANYTHING. It's an absurdly huge place, and the line between Southern
and Southwestern runs through it, not along its border.

And what's 100 miles from Louisiana? Texas adjoins Louisiana -- but
San Antonio, for example, is hundreds of miles from that border. Did
you mean Dallas?

To me, Dallas doesn't seem culturally Southern.
