I can only give you minor impressions, as I've visited but never lived there. C and I went to Dallas, for a fannish event and to visit her brother and his family. The thing that immediately struck us was the climate; Dallas was having Gulf weather than weekend (I believe Houston has it almost all the time!) and the air felt not just hot but heavy from the humidity, in a way that's rare in California.
Christianity (in Texas, mainly flavors of Baptist in the Anglo population) seems to be integrated into daily life in a way that's much less common in California, though not unknown.
