DISCOVER TEXAS!

What a vast area to discover! Did you know that Texas covers 261,797 square miles? It has 254 counties and a population of 23.5 million people. The population of Texas from 2005 to 2006 grew over 579,000 people! The largest population growth of any of the other state. Rockwell County grew the fastest of any county in the United States! It grew 7 times faster than the national average of 1.1 percent. It grew 7.9 percent. The city of Hutto Texas has grown over 580 percent since 1990! But according to the Texas A&M Real Estate Center the growth may be slowing down. For example: Williamson County's population increased at an annualized rate of 7.1 percent from 2000 to 2002 compared with 7.9 percent in the 1990s. One of the state's largest counties, Travis County, posted the most marked change in annualized rate of growth, declining from 4.1 percent in the 1990s to 2.1 percent from 2000-2002.

One will find that the geography of Texas spans a wide range of features. The Great Plains, the Rio Grande, Red River and Sabine River all provide natural state lines where Texas borders Oklahoma on the north, Louisiana and Arkansas on the east, New Mexico on the west, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south.

Most residents, divide Texas into 5 regions North, East, Central, South, and West. But the Texas Almanac divides Texas into four physical regions: Gulf Coastal Plains, Interior Lowlands, Great Plains, and The Basin and Range Province."
