So I may discuss culture with a native and bring up things they may not be aware of... but there's always going to be "you're actually there and I'm not".

But Texans really do drive pick up trucks, and have funny accents!
It's amazing how many pick-up trucks you see in Dallas.
And for every one hundred middle aged white man you see, you'll see 1 or 2 guys wearing cowboy hats and boots.
BTW, Japanese stereotype of Texas is deserts, cowboys, and tumbleweeds everywhere.
