You haven't seen Texas, then. Texas has Big Bend, which is my second favorite National Park in the whole country. And I've been to over 100 National Parks, Preserves, and Monuments.
Yosemite is still more beautiful, though.
OP mentioned that there are pretty places, they're just not near anything. I've been to a lot of Texas--Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Amarillo, Midland, Del Rio. None of those are anywhere near Big Bend. I mean, for context, I think El Paso (the only major city nearby) is the halfway point between Dallas and LA. Most of the folks living in Texas aren't seeing the beauty of BB on a daily or even regular basis.
National parks are owned by the Feds, so using them as "my state is beautiful" is cheating. Guarantee it TX was actually responsible for the maintenance of their parks... Well they probably wouldn't exist to begin with, but sure as shit wouldn't be what they are today
That’s ridiculous.
