Texas

Texas has always captured the hearts and minds of America. Its romantic notions of the Texas frontier, stoic cowboys, and most of all, its fierce, still-untamed spirit, have led many to conclude that Texas is almost a country in its own right.

The second largest state in the nation after Alaska in terms of land area, Texas is home to 22 million people, 32% of whom are Mexican-Americans. This rich infusion of Mexican culture gives Texas a flavor—Tex-Mex, of course—that is unique to that of the rest of the country, and one that is highly sought after by curious visitors to the Lone Star State.

On a visit to Texas, enjoy the wealth of culture, history, and entertainment that the state has to offer by starting off at its capital in Austin, Texas' art mecca and host to the world-famous Austin Film Festival and South by Southwest Music Festival.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, so swing by Houston, the largest city in the state and fourth-largest in the country. Football fan? Come over to Dallas to watch the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium.

For a little education, indulge yourself in Texas' colorful history in San Antonio, home of the Alamo. Catch some warm sea breeze down in Corpus Christi, and while you're there, swing a day trip to South Padre Island, King Ranch, or even Mexico.
