Texas, Like A Whole Other Country
When we say Texas is "Like a whole other country," maybe we're being a bit modest. Because the truth is, the Lone Star State offers up more attractions and activities than a whole roster of nations. We have beaches to rival Rio. Shops and restaurants that would dazzle 'em in Paris. Enough championship golf to make Scotland green with envy. Performing arts and kid-pleasing theme parks that are world-class. And magnificent wide-open spaces and natural places that are pure USA.

Best of all, we do it with a Texas twist: a place where astronauts rub shoulders with cowboys, where our borders stretch from red-rock mountains to sparkling turquoise seas, where our communities host everything from fiestas to pow-wows to Cajun dances. Only in Texas can you enjoy honky-tonk and barbecue one evening, the symphony and nouvelle cuisine the next. Or marvel at squawking shorebirds in the morning and a rollicking rodeo that night.

Our warm and sunny climate welcomes you year-round. We do, too, with the finest hospitality you'll find anywhere on the globe. Come see for yourself what Texas has to offer. For your free travel guide, call 1-800-8888 TEX.
