Ohhhhh, ms travemad, I'm sorry you have to get in the middle of this.....We Okies have a terrible inferiority complex about Baja Oklahoma (errr, Texas), and know that when Texas re-declares it's independence, our state will be immediately annexed, just to even-up the corners of their map....

Anyway, you will be fine in Texas, as long as you aren't pronouncing the city name as "how-ston" like a Manhattanite...... enjoy!
