US State of Texas

Texas, largest state in the contiguous United States.

Texas is located in the South Central part of the USA and is bounded by Oklahoma, across the Red River except in the Texas panhandle (N); Arkansas (NE); Louisiana, across the Sabine River (E); the Gulf of Mexico (SE); Mexico, across the Rio Grande River (SW) and New Mexico (W).

The 28th U.S. state, Texas joined the United States in 1845. Its postal abbreviation is TX.

The state name derives from a word in a Caddoan language of the Hasinai, táysha (or tejas), meaning friends or allies. Spanish explorers mistakenly applied the word to the people and their location.

With an area of 267,338 sq miles (692,405 sq km) and a population of 22.5 million, Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population
