Yes it is. Cowboy hats and the whole nine. Houston too (e.g. Urban Cowboy, starring John Travolta). It seems they're considered quintessentially western - even though Texas might actually be as much southern as western, culturally, (which I doubt it is). There's a lot I don't know about Dallas, TX, but I do know how it's perceived nationwide - whether or not that perception is completely fair or not - and it's considered western. When America thinks of Dallas' history, it thinks of cattle and oil. Its NFL team is "the Cowboys" for chrissakes.
Am I wrong?
Anyone from Dallas here? Does Dallas consider
itself western? In my mind it very much is and TBH I'm a bit surprised to see someone argue it's not.
