About Texas
The state of Texas is found in the south central United States. It is bordered to the north by Oklahoma and Arkansas, to the east by Louisiana, to the south by the country of Mexico and to the west by New Mexico. Because of the large size of the state, the climate in Texas varies greatly. The northern and the panhandle often see colder winters than the gulf coast. In the areas near Louisiana it can be very rainy while in western Texas the climate is dry. Average temperatures vary dependent on location. Winter temperatures can average as low as 29 degrees Fahrenheit and summer temperatures can average as high as 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
