Is this accurate, or does it require a round of revisions?

The above posted map is how I would mostly draw it up.

-When I once lived in East Texas it was understood going west of Tyler towards Dallas was North Texas. And going towards Tyler from Dallas it was understood you're entering East Texas.

-When I once lived in South Texas it was understood Austin was Central Texas and San Antonio was South Texas. And there was a clear dividing line somewhere between the two cities. Maybe San Marcos or New Braunfels if we want to get specific?

-I've never heard the Houston area referred to as Upper Gulf Coast. It's always just the Houston part of Texas once you're within orbit. Beaumont, Orange, and Lufkin were always East Texas but any closer to Houston and it was referred to as the Houston area, as though independent of any region. Maybe Upper Gulf Coast is a weather mapping term for Hurricane Zoning?

-My only point of question would be Lubbock. In the map Lubbock is zoned in West Texas though I've often heard Lubbock mentioned as a Panhandle town. Midland and Odessa are always West Texas town but from there going up to Lubbock was often thought of as heading to/toward the Panhandle.

The regional splits in Texas are almost as much about the people and culture, as they are about geography.  That's why "South Texas" extends up the Rio Grande and includes territory that would be more like West Texas if geography were the only consideration. 

nursing regions??

The city of Beaumont and surrounding region is definitely referred to as Southeast Texas, and nobody here would say "East Texas" extends that far south. 

The Amarillo area is weird.  Everybody I've ever known from that area (not that many, just a few) refer to it as West Texas, even though us Louisianans always called it the panhandle.  I'd tell them West Texas should be El Paso and Odessa, etc, and they just say "Yeah, I know, but it's what everybody calls it."

don't look like much of a panhandle

now, THAT's a panhandle........

don't look like much of a panhandle

Yeah I'd say that map has the panhandle coming too far down.  San Angelo, Abilene, and Big Spring, are NOT panhandle IMO.

But like I said, culturally and geographically there's not much difference.
