Welcome to Texas!
Texas borders New Mexico on the west; Oklahoma on the north (across the Red River); and Louisiana (across the Sabine River); and Arkansas on the east. To the southwest, across the Rio Grande, Texas borders the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. To the southeast of Texas is the Gulf of Mexico.
Texas is in the south-central part of the United States of America. It is considered to form part of the U.S. South and also part of the U.S. Southwest. Some regions of Texas are associated with the South more than the Southwest, (primarily East Texas), while other regions share more similarities with the Southwest than the south (primarily West Texas and South Texas).
Texas is so large in its east-west expanse that El Paso, in the western corner of the state, is closer to San Diego, California than to Beaumont, near the Louisiana state line; Beaumont, in turn, is closer to Jacksonville, Florida than it is to El Paso. Also, Texarkana, in the northeastern corner of the state, is closer to Chicago, Illinois than it is to El Paso. The north-south expanse is similarly impressive; Dalhart, in the northwestern corner of the state, is closer to the state capitals of Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming than it is to Austin, its own state capital.To approach your move to Texas with as much information as possible, simply request one of our free relocation packets today!
