Texas is situated in the south-central part of the US. It is the second largest state in North America, and it neighbors Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, and the Mexican border. The largest cities in Texas are Houston and San Antonio. Texas provides numerous touristic attractions ranging from cultural objectives to beautiful landscapes.

Texas was originally inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Apache, the Karankawa, the Wichita, the Atakapa, or the Bidai. In the 16th century, the first European explorers came here.
