Check if string is in a pandas DataFrame

Example of any():

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'DateOfBirth': ['1986-11-11', '1999-05-12', '1976-01-01',
                                   '1986-06-01', '1983-06-04', '1990-03-07',
                                   '1999-07-09'],
                   'State': ['NY', 'TX', 'FL', 'AL', 'AK', 'TX', 'TX']
                   },
                  index=['Jane', 'Pane', 'Aaron', 'Penelope', 'Frane',
                         'Christina', 'Cornelia'])

if df['State'].str.contains('TX').any():
    print("TX is there")
