Across our large state, one can expect to find prairies, forests, grasslands, swamps, desert and the coastline.
It is no wonder that many call Texas home, and just as many come to visit the state every year, with such a wide selection of scenery and unique communities. Residents and visitors of Texas can enjoy the piney woods of East Texas, the never-ending plains of the panhandle, the deserts of Southwest Texas, the beautiful Hill Country of central Texas and the expansive coastline on the Gulf of Mexico.
