I pronounce it the first way, but I am not from Texas. Which is correct?
I figured I better ask because the Texans that come to this part of New Mexico pronounce Ruidoso RuhDOsa.

I grew up nearby, and have always heard it pronounced the first way.

And since you mentioned Ruidoso, I always heard it pronounced "reeya-doesuh" - until I moved to SE NM and started hearing "roouh-doesoe."
