Texas

Deep in the heart of Texas are prairies, forests, rugged hills, desert land, a coastline and grasslands that give residents multiple venues to enjoy life. Major industries in Texas include agriculture, petrochemicals, energy, computers, aerospace and biomedicine. The Lone Star State houses four national research universities along with a variety of professional and college sports teams. And when it’s time to shake off the dust, you’ll find ample entertainment options, from boot-scooting and chowing down on its world-famous barbecue to strolling botanical gardens or art museums.
