Texas Travel Guide

Edit Section - Texas Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Texas is known as the Lone Star State, with a single star emblazoned on its state flag, and state pride tends to be high (perhaps linked in part in the fact that Texas was the only state to have been an independent Republic before it joined the union, in part to its enormous size). It is the second largest state in the union, next only to Alaska, at a square mileage of nearly 270,000, and therefore varies quite widely from region to region in culture, weather, and landscape. Some parts are desert, some windswept plains, some forested, wet, and green; some are dominated by cattle ranches, some by the rapid-spreading urban expansion of such teeming cities as Houston, and some almost exclusively by Mexican culture and Spanish language, due to their proximity to the Mexican-American border.
