Hello...or maybe I should say "howdy" -- that's what people expect when I tell them I'm from Dallas, Texas, the ninth largest city in the US! 
Dang, I thought Dallas would be bigger! Does Dallas have a football team?
Does it have a football team?! It has AMERICA'S team -- the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, NFC division!
Oh yeah! I have heard about them - mostly from my friends who are Eagle's fans. Do you know why there is such a rivalry between the two teams?
Likely poor ole Philly is jealous of Dallas ;-) It's one of those places people want to be. From 2010 to 2016, MORE people migrated IN to Dallas county.
Holy moly, that is a lot of people. Do you know where they were coming from?
Great question -- I know plenty of Texans who think it's a Californian invasion! But hey, we've got plenty of space -- along with Fort Worth, the metroplex is the 4th most populous metro area in the US.
Seems like Texas has a bunch of big cities. Is there a lot of desert in Texas? That's all I really think about when I think of Texas.
Well, it can sometimes feel that way, given the heat. Big Bend National Park isn't really a desert, but might feel that way in the summer. And yeah, Houston and San Antonio are larger than Dallas. Austin is gaining fast!
What is the population of Austin? I'm thinking about going there for my brother's bachelor party this year!
