Is green pork chili popular in Texas like it is in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado? [View all]

A while back I was on the phone to a customer service rep out of Huston Texas, She asked me how the weather was in Colorado and I said it was snowing and a good day to make a pot of green chili. She said she lived all her life in Huston and never heard of green chili only red.
Just curious, thanks.
