Err, Foxboy, that wasn't me who commented on her accent back there. It was ECSNorway.
As for my thoughts on the accent, the turn of phrase says to me "Southern Bell" rather than "Tejana".
Southern Bells had more social matters to attend to, hence all the fancy metaphors and turns of phrase they came up with. On the other side of the Mississippi, though, women learned how to use revolvers, rifles, and shotguns. In short, Texas women were less frilly.
So, yeah, she'd have a southern accent to be sure, but she ain't Scarlet O'Hare (But, my, what a funny image -THAT- would be).
