Definitely a Texan

They say that you're not a real Texan unless you are born Texan. Albert claims NYC as his hometown and was born in New Jersey, so although he graduated high school here, he doesn't count as a Texan either. Well, Alex was born in Dallas, so that makes him official even if we're not. It appears that he counts himself as one too- he won't touch green beans and mashed potatoes but apparently loves Texas BBQ and okra, as I found out today when I took him to Dickie's BBQ Pit for lunch.
