An acquaintance who was a kid in Texas in the '80s once said that her teacher used to tell her that Texas was a Democratic state and California was a Republican state.

Which was true at the time, of course.

for Texas yes but California not really.

From 1948 to 1988 California voted only twice for a Democratic presidential nominee (Truman in 1948 and Johnson in 1964). So it was a Republican state in presidential elections.
