you do know there is a coast, i have lived in Texas all my life on the beach i have to drive 4-5 hours to see desert
Dude. It's the Gulf of Mexico. I've seen it. There are also tons of lakes, but as I learned after about a year of visiting about ten different lakes, if you've seen one Texas lake, you've seen them all.
It's very hard for a beach bum to adapt to lakes. They look like giant swamps.
If I decided to live in Texas (like my sister), it wouldn't be for the lakes or ocean. It's a great state.
