Texas the Lone Star State

Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify its former status as an independent republic, and as a reminder of the state’s struggle for independence from Mexico.

Texas is a large state in the southern U.S. with deserts, pine forest and the Rio Grande, a river that forms its border with Mexico. In its biggest city, Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts houses works by well-known Impressionist and Renaissance painters, while Space Center Houston offers interactive displays engineered by NASA. Austin, the capital, is known for its eclectic music scene and LBJ Presidential Library.
There are three major things that make Texas as big and important as it is: Oil, Crops and Alamo.

Austin is the state capital of Texas and home of the University of Texas campus.
It is also known for its eclectic live-music scene centered around country, blues and rock.
