Texas occupies all of the continent of North America Except a small part set aside for the United States, Canada & Mexico. It is bounded on the north by up to 40 states, on the east by all the oceans except the Pacific, on the south by the Gulf of Mexcico & South America, and on the West by the Pacific ocean and the rest of the world.
Fold Texas northward and Brownsville will be 120 miles into Canada. Fold it eastward and El Paso will be 40 mile into the atlantic. Fold it westward and Orange will be 215 mles into the Pacific.
Texas is both in the South and in the West. But...Us Texans are neither Southerners nor Westerners. WE ARE TEXANS!
