Austin is different, but Dallas and Houston isn't exactly liberal, so no, it's not like California.

And Fort Worth ..... as the saying goes, 30 miles west, and 20 years back.

For the record, I like Fort Worth, loved living there, and wish I never sold my house there. But that was 20 years ago .....

'nuff said

* not that Dems don't have their share of loonies, but Louie Gohmert just takes it to another level.
