I have the impression that southern USians are polite people.
Then someone told me that unlike Greece where you can get into an argument, shout, even curse but it doesn't have much chances on this getting to the exchange of blows or anything, in Texas if a Texan becomes pissed at you, it's over, he gets the gun out and better luck in the next world.
Is that true or what?

It is very, very uncommon to see two sober strangers yell at each other, and it's almost guaranteed that on the rare times you do see it, and if one party curses, the other party will ask him not to curse - "Please don't take the Lord's name in vain!" is a common refrain in Southern fights. 
And no, that's not true of Texas, it's just the image they want to portray.
