I knew an English lady who lived in Austin, Texas, and she said that they actually pronounce it Awstun.

By the way, I don't think it's commonly known in the UK, that Austin is the capital city of Texas.

Fortunately, it's difficult to mispronounce Texas. ;) But that doesn't stop people from having fun with it. Many years ago in a gents in the state of Oklahoma I read the following on the wall. "Here I sit my cheeks a-flexin' giving birth to another Texan." 8) :lol:
