If it is a reflection Texas, it is a reflection on America. Unless we've gone back to the Republic now. As a Texan, I am certainly not opposed to that, but I believe my passport still says United States of America and not Republic of Texas. As long as that is the case, Texan companies ARE American companies, and therefore their awful practices (and it certainly isn't all Texas companies, but even a few is bad enough) do reflect badly on America as a whole.
