Texas is the second largest state in the US and is situated in the South Central region bordering Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. It is nicknamed the ‘Lone Star State’ after its former status as an independent republic. Due to its size it contains diverse landscapes such as prairies, grasslands, forests, swamps, plains, desert and mountains.  It has the second-largest share of Mexican-Americans in the US. Texas has voted for the Republican candidate in every US presidential election since 1980.
