What is the origin of the nickname, "Texas quotes"?

 From S02:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The double angles may be written either with French quotes, «$foo
    @bar[]»||, or with "Texas" quotes, <<$foo @bar[]>>,|| as the ASCII
    workaround.

I'm curious about the naming of "Texas" quotes.

My guess is that the name is inspired by the existence of a town called 
Paris, Texas. That city's name might remind you of France, but isn't the 
real thing. Similarly, <<Texas Quotes>>|| might remind you of «French 
Quotes», but they're not quite as elegant.

Have I got that right?
