It just depends on what part of Texas you live in. Pretty much everybody talks with a Southern Texas accent where I live. I live about 20 miles South East of Houston. People need to quit trying to purposely lose their accents too, be proud of who you are and where you're from.
Not sure it's purposeful so much as influence from people from out of state moving in and mass media promoting a more "General American" Midwest kind of accent. You get out in the boonies where more 'Native' Texans live, you might find your accent getting more pronounced. At least that's what I noticed when hanging out with the folks vs. hanging out in more metropolitan spots. I still have some accent markers, they just get unconsciously less pronounced.
West Texas has the twang. East Texas has the drawl. We even fold our tortillas differently. I'm 5th generation native Texan and 4th generation Houstonian. Eat 'em up, Cougars!
Twang is general to Texas, but East Texans lean a little more toward a General Southern dialect in their speech, while West Texans talk slower and have the more pronounced Texas twang. Folks in cities have less accent/more Midwest sort of speech in general because of outside influence.
North East coming down to texas and talk "black english" with some of the y'all stuff to complement with. The old west texas accent is almost dead except for ..well the oldies.

Texas now has one syllable words.

Texas has never had a twang accent.
It's a DRAW
If you want twang go to Louisiana.
