"Well, welcome to Texas but love it for what it is."
What do you mean by that?
I hope you're not hedging as in these Texas people are nice, but terribly unsophisticated compared to Cali folk, or these Texas people are nice, but they have little love for fascist/commie types and you'd be right about that. Believe it!
Don't come from Cali and pretend you're superior to Texans -- you aren't. Nor will that attitude (if in fact it's yours and maybe it isn't or maybe it is) go over well.
Warning your fellow ex-Cali neighbor that 'wink wink' Texans aren't really your kind of people, but you'll adapt to their primitive ways isn't the way to influence your ex-state fellow.
If my B.S. detector is off, then my apologies, but you sound rather like you actually wanted to stay in Cali.
