I lived in Fort Worth a long time ago, California transplant. What I found amazing was that when a Texan asked "How are you doing?", pardon me, "How y'all doin'?" it was a sincere question about your well being. In CA the same statement had the mechanics of caring but if you actually told someone what was going on in your life their reaction might be "Whoa dude oversharing, TMI!". But if you told a Texan things weren't going well their response was likely "Is there anything I can do for you to help?". I've held native Texans in high regard for decades for this..
