About Texas
Texas is known for its tourist attractions such as:
- The Alamo
- San Antonio River Walk
- Big Bend National Park
Some interesting facts about Texas include:
- Texas is home to the world’s largest herd of white-tailed deer. With an estimated population of over 5 million, these graceful creatures roam freely across the Lone Star State’s diverse landscapes, from pine forests in the east to deserts in the west.
- Texas boasts the longest continuously maintained highway in the world. Spanning an impressive 2,426 miles, U.S. Highway 80 stretches from Atlantic City, New Jersey, all the way to San Diego, California. However, the longest unbroken section of the highway, measuring 878 miles, runs entirely within the borders of Texas, making it a true Lone Star State icon.
