Wikipedia - Texas
Texas (IPA: /ˈtɛksəs/) is a state geographically located in the south-central part of the United States, which the Census Bureau places in a sub-region of the U.S. South designated West South Central. It is also known as the Lone Star State.
With an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km²) and a rapidly growing population of 23.5 million, as estimated in 2006, spread among 254 counties, Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population. Dallas and Houston are the centers of the state's two largest metropolitan areas. Other major cities include the state capital of Austin, the state's oldest major city of San Antonio, and the western city of El Paso.[1] Due to its long history as a center of the American cattle industry, Texas is associated throughout much of the world with the image of the cowboy.
