Texas is the second-largest US State by both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous United States. The name, meaning "friends" or "allies" in Caddo, was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in East Texas. Located in the South Central United States, Texas is bordered by Mexico to the south, New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and a growing population of 24.7 million residents.
Texas is a big state, some say it's like a whole other country. Well, that is the truth let me tell you...and it has a lot of beautiful tourist attractions that are so interesting to visit.
My husband & I, together with our eldest daughter moved here from the Philippines in 2004. We've been to other states like Louisiana, Oklahoma, Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, Philadelphia, Washington D.C.,New Jersey & New York...but for us, Texas is the place to be ♥♥♥
