That is not really the question. "Part of" not "in" was the question. There is a difference.

Second, which side Texas fought on in the ACW has only a small bearing on the matter today. Look at Florida. I wouldn't classify it as part of the South, yet in the ACW it was very much so. And it is as far south as Texas.

This is a cultural/political question, not straightforward geography.
