Do a Google search for: texas dead last You'll find things like Texas being the worst in terms of:

Highest percentage of residents over age 25 without a high school diploma

Lowest funding of mental health care

Lowest funding of legal services for the poor

Lowest average credit score

Lowest voter participation

Highest percentage of uninsured residents

Highest per-capita gasoline consumption

Highest level of cancer-causing compounds released into the air/ground/water

Searching on other factors reveals other bits, like that Texas is:

40th in obesity

48th in child immunizations

46th in teen pregnancy

These are from a ton of different news stories and statistical summaries from 2008-2015, so I'm sure a bunch are out of date. The point being that in many ways the Texas stereotype is backed up by real-world data. It's also interesting to see the things that Texas is good at that you would not expect based on stereotypes of Texas like levels of smoking (5th), drug deaths (7th), etc.
