Texas is big, really big. It
can take hours and hours of driving to get from one end of Texas
to the other. To make it easier to describe Texas, for tourist
information purposes, Texas is usually divided into 7 regions. The
names of the regions can vary slightly, for instance, the Piney
Woods might be called East Texas. Or Big Bend Country might be called West
Texas.
For our 7 Texas Regions we
are going with Gulf Coast, Piney
Woods, Prairie
