The Missouri Compromise prohibited slavery north of the 36-30 north parallel, so Texas had to lop off the slice north of that line in order to be admitted as a slave state. So the Oklahoma panhandle symbolizes Texas's tainted history. Or something like that. Know why Texas didn’t end up with the panhandle?

Until oil is discovered there they will continue to not want it. Sorry, guys, we're stuck with the Panhandle. Texas didn’t want the Panhandle the first time (hence it is part of Oklahoma).
