Actually, Curly, for me and my neighbors, those are ALL East Texas towns.

Then you probably live in the vicinity of El Paso.

I am afraid the folks at that college (now a part of the A&M system) just south of Amarillo would disagree with you. That real old piece of paper on the I-Love-Me-Wall right here sez: West Texas State University.

Having lived and grown up in that general vicinity, including Texline, Dalhart, Amarillo, Friona, Fritch, Shamrock and Higgins in the Panhandle and Monahans, Odessa, Midland, Fort Stockton, Pecos, Andrews, Seminole, Seagraves, Big Spring, San Angelo, Wink, Crane, etc., I can ASSURE you that Canyon, the home of the Buffs of WTSU/WT A&M considers itself to be a Panhandle town, as is Lubbock, which is considered to be on the southern boundary of the Panhandle.

Pampa, Wheeler, Groom and Dalhart are NOT West Texas Towns. They are Panhandle Towns. Ballinger is neither.

West Texas Towns include, Monahans, Pecos, Ft. Stockton, Ft. Davis, Alpine, Balmorhea, Midland, Odessa, Big Lake, San Angelo, Mentone, Crane, etc.

Though It would not surprise me to see such a sign at any of those towns.
