Not to knock Texas, it's got plenty of possibilities, but some of them just happen to lie elsewhere.

Didn't you know most of the state of Colorado and half of northern New Mexico was annexed years ago? Look at the plates in any of the parking lots at the slopes, and half of them will be from Texas. Hell, the Buckaroo Ball, a major Dallas social event, takes place in Santa Fe every year. My roommate from Colorado my freshman year of college found out I was from Texas and bitched about the invaders and bet that I drove a Suburban (years before people were bitching about SUVs)...
We're perfectly happy to go to other locales if it serves our purposes. And we're perfectly happy to try and recreate what we see elsewhere.
