An annoying thing is when a non-fiction book or magazine article moves a major city. I am sorry but Dallas is not and never has been deep in the heart of Texas. It is in north Texas.

It shows either a lack of geography or the ability to google or the author thought they were being smart using in this case an inappropriate but we'll known Texas phrase.
I think the phrase "deep in the heart of Texas" is more about flavor than it's about location.
