I think he said he grew up in Galveston, but was born in East Texas. I don't think his town of birth in East Texas has ever been revealed. The core of East Texas is bounded by Oklahoma border (North); Louisana border (East); counties of Lamar, Hopkins, Delta, Rains, Van Zandt, Henderson, Anderson, Houston, and Walker (West); and counties of Walker, San Jacinto, Polk, Hardin, Jasper, and Newton (South). While some sources include counties as far (and further) South as Galveston county, most consider these counties to be in the Coastal Plains of Texas. As a Native Texan, I would not consider the City of Galveston as East Texas.
