Talk:East Texas

message: I'm moving the following list here because its presence in the main article clutters the page. I intend to eventually most of this information into the main text. -JCarriker 07:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I live here and there is nothing notable about the crime in East Texas as a whole region.  There were zero references validating the statements the person wrote in the article.  Most of this country has a "meth" problem and East Texas isn't special in that.  There was a movie done a few years ago that highlighted meth use and it took place in East Texas but they could have used a different location and it would not have mattered.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Americandude2011 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Hey, I noticed that the author omitted Liberty County from the list of Deep East Texas counties in the article,but included it in the "largest county" analysis.  Just thought I'd drop a line in case the author did it by mistake.
Thanks for the article--DJ 67.162.202.190 (talk) 20:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Liberty County? 

message: B/CS is widely considered to be located in the Central Texas region of Texas, not East Texas.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.195.113.244 (talk) 05:14, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bryan/College Station is located in Central Texas 

message: An IP has recently been pushing in changes to the article claiming  that East Texas is known as Dixie, and contains the Texas Triangle. "Dixie" is a nickname for the entire American South, and the Texas Triangle contains Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, none of which are in the common definitions of East Texas. Lacking sourcing, I think these should be reverted. Dayewalker (talk) 16:35, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dixie? 

message: The article claims a contrast between East Texas and West "in which people of German and Hispanic heritage predominate." This would be true of Central Texas, where many Germans (and Czechs) settled, and of course anything south of San Antonio, but West Texas settlement was relatively late and primarily secondary migration. While there are more Hispanics, say, in Abilene or Midland-Odessa than there are in Tyler or Livingston, it is inaccurate to claim that Germans were the strongest group along the old Texas and Pacific (now IH 20) corridor.

thread_title:  Ethnicity in West Texas? 

message: According to the Federal Court districts, the Eastern District of Texas includes Denton and Collin counties.  I'm not sure what that affects other than the courts, but it shouldn't be ignored.  People from Plano and Richardson go to court in Sherman, but Sherman's headquarters is in Tyler.  And that certainly has cultural and economic ramifications that shouldn't be ignored by the article, but it also probably mirrors other federal designations for other federal services that would be interesting to discuss if anyone is willing to put in some research and write it in to the article.  See this map from uscourts.gov.  Please reply to discuss.--Mrcolj (talk) 18:18, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
