5 Great Things About Texas

I love Texas and here are 5 great facts about the state:

1. The name Texas comes from the Native American, Caddo word Tejas, meaning 'friends' or 'allies'.

2. It's known as the Lone Star State because the flag of Texas features a single star.

3. Houston, San Antonio and Dallas are 3 of the 10 biggest cities in America with a combined population of over 4,500,000! However, the capital of Texas isn't one of these, it's Austin.

3. The Dallas Cowboys is the wealthiest team in the NFL.

4. The Dallas-Fortworth area has more shopping malls per person than any other metropolitan area in the USA.

5. Texas was the largest state in the USA until Alaska joined in 1959.

Everything's bigger in Texas!
