Texans in Alaska

Over the past 5 years I have noticed a disproportionate amount of Texas license plates in Fairbanks. When I was in Anchorage this past week I noticed the same. As far as out of state license plates are concerned I see more Texas plates recently than any other state. At first I thought it was military, but it didn't make sense that predominantly Texan military personnel were the only ones choosing to drive up here. So I just thought I'd ask here. Perhaps if you are from Texas or if you are an Alaskan that has some insight into this, would you mind sharing any low down on this?
