TEXAS
Calling Code: +1
Say "Texas and think BIG. Big country. Big hospitality.
The state is so large - some 275,416 sq mi that encompass 254
counties - that the "big picture" can sometimes become a confusing
jumble of cities and tons and lakes and parks. Texas is indeed a whole other country.
The state can be divided into 7 regions: the Big Bend Country
region contains to national parks, as ell as cities such as Del
Rio, El Paso, Midland and
Odessa; the Gulf Coast, which stretches
from the Texas-Louisiana border southward to Brownsville, and
covers Beaumont, Houston,
Galveston, and Corpus Christi.
The Hill Country encompasses the geographical
center of the state and includes the capital city of Austin,
as well as Fredericksburg. In the Panhandle
Plains, you will find Abilene, Amarillo,
Lubbock and Wichita Falls
and Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The Piney Woods
brings you a large segment of East Texas including Marshall,
Texarkana and Tyler.
Prairies and Lakes sweeps down through
the center of the state and embraces Bryan-College Station, Dallas,
Fort Worth and Waco while
the South Texas Plains presents the lower
Rio Grande Valley towns of McAllen and Mission, along with Laredo and San
Antonio to the north.
