I know the area fairly well.
My granddad worked the oil fields from the time he was 15.
So you chose Lubbock for college. Oh well at least you didn't pick the University of Tea and Peanut Butter.
So what part of this great state do you live in now? Reread your location. Maybe we will run across each other sometime. We stayed at Lake Tawakoni our last vacation.
And back on topic I do collect regional cookbooks.

(That is TCU - Texas Christian University in Ft Worth). It was the only place I could start actual research as a second semester freshman. Which I continued until my senior year.
My Dad worked the oilfield 52 years. He started as a muleskinner (early version of 18-wheeler) hauling oilfield supplies. They lived, and I was born, in Price, about 10 miles or so out of Henderson.
I spend a lot of my Texas time in Dallas (son, daughter-in-law, only grandson) and outside of Austin (currently in a wonderful campground out of Dripping Springs). Spent a number of months in Alpine (drive 2 miles to get phone service, bad wifi, but almost 1 mile high and great scenery - not to mention jack rabbits, cotton tails, road runners, cows, horses, oh my. My 7-year old perpetual puppy got up early to back at them all.)
I collect all interesting cookbooks, since a recipe is only a ambiguous concept until implementation, and good ideas can come from even "bad" recipes.
