Debate between the girlfriend and I. When you speak about Texas, what region of the country would you say it's in? Vote :)

Southwest. After all, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska et al are the midwest, aren't they?

Texas seperates the south from the southwest and belongs to neither.

To Texans that signifies that they're unique. To everyone else on earth it signifies that nobody else wants Texans in their group.

Texas is a figment of your imagination

EDIT: I'm loving that third option in your poll, lol.

Most classify it as Southwest, (ala the old Southwest Confrence in college football)

But I like the Texas is Texas :)

By the way the weather has been unbelievable the last couple of weeks here. Mid 80's for highs and low 60's at night, bright blue skys with high wispy cloulds

Southwest. I believe that anything west of the Mississippi River is considered 'West.'

Missouri, Kansas, Iowa = Midwest
Texas, Arizona, etc = Southwest
