| Texas State and Visitor Information |
| Texas is a state located in the South Central United States, nicknamed the Lone Star
State. Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, spanning
268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and with a growing population of 24.3 million
residents.[8] Houston is its largest city and the fourth-largest in the United States,
while the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area (also called the Metroplex) is the
largest metropolitan area in the state and the fourth-largest in the nation. Other major
cities include San Antonio and Austin, the capital. In a state this big and diverse,
you'll find everything you'd expect from a Texas vacation. And a whole lot more you
didn't. . A great way to visit Texas is to stay at a B&B, country inn, historic hotel,
or guest ranch. Visit The Alamo in San Antonio to discover relics and mementos from the fall of the Republic of Texas. For the outdoor enthusiast, Texas is home to expansive city and state parks for fishing, hunting and boating. Within just 100 miles of Dallas/Fort Worth there are 60 lakes, 50,000 acres of parks and 200 golf courses! Sports fans to Texas can catch a college football game between rivals University of Texas and Texas A & M or watch the Dallas Cowboys battle their NFL foes. If a day at the ballpark is more your style, the Texas Rangers make their home in Arlington with a state of the art facility. And there is always a Texas bed & breakfast for the weary fan at the end of the day. From a resort in Galveston to a Texas bed breakfast in El Paso, from Amarillo to South Padre Island, there's plenty to keep you busy in the Lone Star State. |
