And they have been for quite some time.
The Wild West reputation of Texas has spread far and wide — so far, in fact, that apparently people in Norway use it as slang for "crazy."

The phrase "helt Texas" or “Det var helt Texas” loosely translates to "totally Texas" or "it was totally Texas." It's used to describe a situation, event, or outcome that was either wild, crazy, or outlandish.

Texas Monthly was able to track down a Tumblr post that explains how the phrase is used in Norway.
And it's not a onetime thing. Several other instances of the phrase being used by Norwegians have surfaced.
A restaurant in Norway called Dolly Dimple's uses the phrase "helt Texas" in a video describing their "crazy" pizza deals. (The phrase can be seen in the background.)
