South Texas is a region of the U.S. state of Texas that lies roughly south of, or beginning at, San Antonio. The southern and western boundary is the Rio Grande River, and to the east it is the Gulf of Mexico. The population of this region is about 3.7 million. The southern portion of this region is often referred to as the Rio Grande Valley. The eastern portion along the Gulf of Mexico is also referred to as the Coastal Bend. BoundariesThere is no defined northern boundary, although it is believed to be at the city of San Antonio and from an east to west line extending from the Rio Grande near Maverick County to the Gulf of Mexico, but turning southeast at or near Lavaca County, and continuing towards the Gulf of Mexico to separate it from East Texas and Southeast Texas. The Rio Grande serves as the western and southern boundaries and separates Texas from Mexico. The eastern portion of South Texas is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico. From Wikipedia under the

Q. My husband has a job with the as a border patrol agent and upon his graduation from the academy we'll be moving to south texas, either the Brownville area or around El Paso. What is it like living down there(im from Ohio) I know border towns are nasty so is there nice place to live say 45 mins away? Also Im taking my horses with me, do you think I'll have a hard time finding a place to keep them? Asked by barrelracer328 - Wed Feb 4 20:40:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. No you shouldn't have a problem finding a place to board your horses. You may even find a house to buy or rent with enough property to keep them there. It's very, very hot in both of the towns you named. A large % of the population is Hispanic, so you'll hear people speaking Spanish all the time. You're in for a huge change being from Ohio. It's nothing like the big cities of Texas -- Houston, Dallas/Ft Worth, Austin, San Antonio. Good luck. Answered by Prairie Girl - Fri Feb 6 21:20:34 2009 Are there any interesting sites between South Texas and Southern California worth visiting? Q. I have a long drive at the end of the month, driving from Brownsville Texas to Los Angeles, California. I have driven from Houston to Los Angeles before and gone through the old Route 66 trails and have been to the Blue Whale of Catoosa, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Bandera Ice Caves in NM, Crater in AZ, Center of the Universe in Felicity. Any other sites or restaurants to stop at? Asked by elin1081 - Thu Jun 12 13:39:13 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The last time I drove from Houston to the central coast of California, in the eighties, I deviated all the way to the Grand Canyon. But assuming you will eventually pick up Highway 90 West on your trek north from Brownsville, you should consider taking US 285 north and going up through Ft. Stockton to Carlsbad, NM. Take at least a day and tour Carlsbad Caverns. After that, If you've never seen the Grand Canyon, continue north on 285 and after passing through Roswell (you might want to stop and visit aliens) pick up US 40 west at Albuquerque. (I believe 40 and the old 66 are the same in that area.) That will take you through Flagstaff, which is only "spitting distance" from the canyon. Plus it's nice and cool there this time of year. … [cont.] Answered by rgchappell - Thu Jun 12 14:18:35 2008 Where to apply for oil rigs in south texas?
