Texas |
 | | To the west is New Mexico, to the north and northeast lie Oklahoma and Arkansas, and Louisiana bounds Texas on the east. |
 | | Texas is the size of Ohio, Indiana, and all the New England and Middle Atlantic states combined, and its vast area encompasses forests, mountains, deserts and dry plains, and a long, humid, subtropical coastal lowland. |
 | | It gradually became used to denote the region north of the Rio Grande and east of New Mexico, and was officially applied as Texas when the area was organized as a republic in 1836. |
