People call it the West, but Dallas is actually slightly East of the geographic center of the contiguous US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_center_of_the_contiguous_United_States
We Texans refer to it as the "Texas" region of the US.
I'm not a Texan but I have always done this as well and am now glad that I am somewhat correct in the eyes of Texans.
