9. Those awaiting arriving planes at the baggage claim are wearing boots and a cowboy hat.
8. The majority of the automobiles along I-635 are extended cab trucks. Chevy is the most popular but a Ford works for others just as well.

6. The signs advertising loan rates at the local bank are written in Spanish and the subscript letters underneath have an English translation.
5. The strangers you pass on the farm to market roads wave as you drive past.
4. You fall asleep to the howl of the coyotes on a big chase in the pasture.
3. You have the pleasure of eating authentic Mexican food in a restaurant on the bad side of town.
