For example, in the Prairies and Lakes region, you get a mix of the nightlife and dining scenes in Dallas and Fort Worth, plus charming small towns located further south. True to its name, the Piney Woods region is home to four national forests, sweeping meadows, and Big Thicket National Preserve. The Gulf Coast combines 350 miles of shoreline with the big-city sights of Houston, Galveston, and beyond. You’re all but certain to find a region in Texas that checks all of your boxes.

When you think of Texas traditions, you’ll have to include more than just rodeos and ranchers. Texas is also home to a wide variety of popular events all year long, from Fiesta San Antonio and Viva! El Paso to SXSW in Austin and the state fair in Dallas. On any given week, you can expect celebration of arts and culture, food, sports, and/or music to be happening somewhere in the state.

The annual climate in Texas depends on the region. For instance, temperatures in the north and in the south of the state can vary by as much as 20 degrees during the winter. Summers tend to be hot no matter where you are. If you’re not a fan of snow, good news — it rarely snows in Texas. But get ready for rain, as annual rainfall is around 36 inches.
