Hello, I'm from Texas. What country are y'all from?

There are so many great things about Texas it's impossible to put them all down here, unless we had years of time. But there are some things about the Lone Star State that just ... well, SCREAM Texas.

These are the things that set us apart from the outside world. The things that make Texas impossible to leave. The things that make us damn proud to live in the greatest state (and former country) in the world.

    The Dallas Cowboys

    You don't get labeled "America's Team" for no reason.

    And I just used a double-negative there. Why? Because I'm from Texas.
