You know you're in Texas when...

1. You can find in every major shopping center's parking lot a tractor trailer full of fireworks for sale.
2. Every idiot around you has bought tons of fireworks, and ignoring the statewide burn ban and the Homeowner's Association's covenants against it, said fireworks are going off all around you.
3. In fact, the idiot teens are shooting off Roman Candles at each other.
4. You can wear light pants and a short sleeved shirt outside to watch the fireworks.
5. There are commercials in Spanish on the English language channels.
6. There are about a bazillion churches; it seems like there is one on every corner. However, I don't know that I've seen more than 2 synagogues in the nearly 3 months I've lived here.
7. Taylor Pork Roll (from Trenton, NJ) is an imported delicacy!
8. You can always find a brisket in the supermarket.
9. You can find a star or the outline of the state of Texas on just about anything down here.
10. Nearly everyone drives a pick up truck or an SUV. And not a small SUV, but an Excursion or Armada. Not a small pick up, but a dual-ee with crew cab (that's a four-door with six wheels).
