It is the very basic emotion of insecurity, Fragony.

Texas is The United States version of Germany, you know, that odd cousin showing up at family dinners, but who you have very little in common with, and do not want to be associated with.

One of the main reasons behind this insecurity shown among texans is of course the cult of masculinity.

Cowboys, in the old days, often heerded their cattle south. They went months and months without seeing a woman. It is thus natural that only the men who could adapt to an enviroment where women were replaced by cows and other men, made it all the way down to Texas.

This then became a safe haven for this kind of people, and you can still see a lot of men there still proudly wearing their cowboy hats, a hidden signal to other people of their kind.
