yes, located in the southern part of the USA, it is also a former independent state as the Republic of Texas and as a Mexican state, before joining the union. Texas, is also the largest of the 48-continuous states and the second largest after the state of Alaska in terms of land area.

Yep, seens it's a state, It's part of the United State.
Texas is a state in the South and Southwest regions of the United States of America. With an area of 268,581 square miles (695,622 km²) and a population of 22.8 million, Texas is the second-largest U.S. state in both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous 48 states in area.
The state name derives from a word in a Caddoan language of the Hasinai, táyshaʔ, tecas (or tejas, as the Spaniards spelled it), meaning "those who are friends," friends or allies. Spanish explorers mistakenly applied the word to the people and their location.
Texas joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state, after nearly 10 years as the Republic of Texas—an independent country. Texas historically had a "larger than life" reputation, especially in cowboy films. The term "Texas sized" is used to describe something larger than average, and large geographic areas are often described in terms of the size of Texas.

What kind of question is that?? I can understand someone asking if Puerto Rico or Guam was part of the US, but come on...TEXAS??? It was once a lone star state, a nation of its own, but that was about 150 years ago, dating back to the wars Texas had with Mexico since Mexico wanted to keep Texas as Mexican territory.

Texas is right above the Mexican border, one of the largest stats. Ranch country. Home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Dallas Stars.

No. It is a part of American culture, just as much as California is. In other words, they live in a whole other world that doesn't refelct the values of the vast majority.
