The Best Small Towns in Texas

Not everything that is better in Texas is bigger!

TEXAS the largest state in the continental United States covers a total area of 267,339 square miles! It is a land of many contrasts 800 miles wide and almost as far from North to South. Visitors to Texas can choose from a great variety of places to visit including sunny seacosts, mile high mountains, to dense forests and sun-drenched desert! Throughout the great state of Texas are sights of wonderful natural beauty and along the way great towns and cities. Texas is known also for its friendly folks. Even the state name which was taken from an Indian word, "Tejas" means friendship!

Because of its vast size and range of elevations, Texas has a varied climate with one main characteristic - miles of blue sky and sunshine! Be sure to bring along a good sun screen when visiting Texas as living and recreation are keyed to the great outdoors. While summers in Texas can be down right warm - with highs sometime in the triple digits - the winters are delightful! It is not unusual to see folks in attire usually reserved for the summer season in the middle of December!
