People from Texas, or the professional American football team based in Houston.
From 'Texas,' a state name derived from Spanish 'Tejas,' which likely comes from a Caddoan word meaning 'friends.' The demonym 'Texan' emerged in the 1800s to describe inhabitants.
Texas was actually an independent nation from 1836 to 1845 before joining the USA, so 'Texans' have this unique historical identity—it's the only state that used to be its own country, which is why people there are sometimes jokingly called 'Texans first, Americans second'!
