    Ones that are actually said in Texas:
    "Don't piss (in my boots/down my back) and tell me it's raining." Translation: Don't bullshit me.
    "Come and get it." Usually refers to a large homecooked meal.
    "Don't let your alligator mouth overload your hummingbird ass." Translation: Don't talk shit if you can't back it up.
    "All hat, no cattle." This refers to posing as a cowboy when you've never worked cattle, so it's a bit ironic seeing it used by suits.
    The rest I've never heard before, and I've been around long enough that I would have heard them if they were at all common.
