... You go for a drive in the country after dark, and you stick your hand out the window in gratitude for the cool air, and at least 6 bugs hit your hand before you can yank it back in the car and immediately roll up your window.
... You've heard "y'all" at least 10 times in one day, possibly from the same person, and it means "you", "your", "you're" and "yours".
... About half of the kids at school have some sort of Texas football item of clothing, backpack, or lunch box.
... You've quit trying to keep the flies away from your face, quit worrying about fire ants because you've built up an immunity, and when you see a 3" mosquito you can say with authority "eh, that's a little 'un."
... You've been greeted with a smile, nod, and a "how y'all today?" by almost everyone you pass.
... You've heard and are convinced, by enthusiasm alone, that Texas has the best chili, barbeque, football, rodeo's (not roe-Day-oh's), people, and speed limits in the country, nay, the world.
... At least 6 people on your block have either an RV, a boat, or a "spare" car.
... Each of your neighbors has a grill, and 90% of them also have a pool of any size in the backyard, and 90% of them also have a dog or dogs.
Anything to add, my dear readers?
