Texas

Texas is a U.S. state that is the second most populous, the second most extensive of the 50 United States, and the most extensive state of the 48 contiguous states. The name, based on the Caddo word tejas (meaning "friends" or "allies"), was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in Eastern Texas. Located in the South Central United States, Texas shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south, and borders the U.S. states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 square kilometers) and a growing population of 25.7 million residents.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas-Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan areas, respectively. Other major cities include El Paso and Austin, the state's capital. Texas is nicknamed the "Lone Star State" to signify it as a former independent republic and reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texas state flag and Texas state seal.
