I have no proof, but I wonder if that's because people coming to the States from troubled areas don't settle in Texas, because it has a reputation for Conservatism?

I dont mean to sound like a dick, but that's blatently false.
My grandparents settled in Minnesota, not exactly a conservative state.
Texas has a HUGE immigrant population. True the majority is Mexican, but there are tons of Asians/Indians/Arab/Persians here in Austin and in Houston. At UT (64k students) there has been only one instance of racism reported, one that's infamous here at the University. On the morning of 9/11 a Muslim professor was spit on by one of the students. The student apologized publically afterwards, and I've talked to many others (plenty in Middle Eastern Studies which I study) and none have reported anything in Texas as bad as when they were in California.
