Texas is the best state in America, and I’m sure the 27 million people living here would agree. No other state can compare.

From the flat lands across the panhandle, to the rolling hills, and deep Palo Duro Canyon, to our great Texas BBQ (its simply the best). The State Fair of Texas? None can compare. And nothing beats the taste of Dr. Pepper! We have the greatest country music legend George Strait proudly embracing his Texan roots through his music.

In the words of Gary P. Nunn, “Well it’s not just a state, it’s a whole state of mind...”

Here are 11 signs you're a true Texan:

1. You love High school football.

Everything is done bigger and better in the Lone Star State, and that includes high school football. From football stadiums that fit thousands of fans, to TV shows, like "Friday Night Lights" being based on Texas High School football.

2. You can't wait for the State Fair.

When it comes to the State Fair, no one does it bigger and better than Texas.

3. Many of your best memories are made at a Whataburger.

Whether its a post football game meal, or after a fun night of partying. There's nothing more Texan than finding your way to a Whataburger.

4. Never passing up on a stop at a Buc-ee's.

This Texas gas station has almost anything you need for a road trip, from beef jerky to drinks and snacks.

5. You've experienced a state wide shut down due to some flurries .

When it come to snow, whether an inch or a couple of flurries, Texas tends to shut down.

6. Experiencing all four seasons in a day.

7. Driving for hours and still being in Texas.

If you're ever on a road trip to another state, then you know it takes quite a while to leave the state.

8. Blue Bell is the only ice cream choice.

You hate it when someone offers you blue bunny, because you know this is the only acceptable ice cream.

9. 'Ya'll and "Fixin' to" are parts of your vocabulary.

Texans use ya'll and fixin' to in many different forms. Not one Texan says "I'm going to" instead we say "Fixin' to," that's just how we do it.

10. You always stop in West for kolaches.

Czech stop is a staple in West. Baked goods, delicious fruit and sausage kolaches.

11. Even if you travel the world, you still know there's no place like home.

No matter what you do in life, or where you go, you know there's no place like Texas.

Whether Texas born, Texas raised, or your family has been here since we were a part of Mexico, we have a number of things that unite us as Texans.
