I spent most of my life in Texas until the last decade. I was 5'8" tall until I got old and I can tell you practically everyONE is bigger than me in Texas.
There's a fun story about a jockey coming to Texas for the first time and he goes into a bar and he can barely see over the top to order a beer. He asks why the bar is so tall and the bartender explains "Son, everything is big in Texas". So the beer comes in a mug which, to him, seems like a keg. He asks why it's so big and the bartender repeats his explanation.
He drinks the beer and then he needs the men's room, badly, quickly, and he asks for directions. The bartender says "Down that hall and it's the third door to the right. Of course after all that beer he turns left and falls into the swimming pool.
Everybody comes running from the bar in response to his shouting to see what's going on and he's doing his best to tread water and shouting "Please don't flush it!"
