There are many airports in Texas. However, not all Texas airports have regularly scheduled flights. We do not list the smallest airports, since there is no way to provide you flights from those airports.
Texas is a state in both the West and South regions of the United States of America. It is also considered part of the Southwest and the Great Plains. Texas is second to Alaska in area, and second to California in population. The state name derives from a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai: taysha, tecas, or tejas (the Spanish spelling); meaning "those who are friends," "friends," or "allies".
Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836 and existed as the independent Republic of Texas for nearly 10 years. It joined the United States in 1845. Texas boasts that "Six Flags" have flown over its soil: the Fleur-de-lis of France, and the national flags of Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
The Rio Grande, Red River and Sabine River all provide natural state lines where Texas borders Oklahoma on the north, Louisiana and Arkansas on the east, and New Mexico and Mexico to the south. Texas has four major physical regions: Gulf Coastal Plains, Interior Lowlands, Great Plains, and The Basin and Range Province.
In 2005 Texas had a gross state product of $982.4 billion, the second highest in America after California. Gross state product per capita as of 2005 was $42,899. Texas's growth is often attributed to the availability of jobs, the low cost of housing, the lack of a personal state income tax, limited regulation of business, a geographic location in the center of the country, limited government (the Texas Legislature meets only once every two years), favorable climate in many areas of the state, and vast, plentiful supplies of oil and natural gas.
The state has two major economic centers: Dallas and Houston. Houston stands at the center of the petrochemical and biomedical research trades while Dallas functions as the center of the aerospace/defense manufacturing and information technology labor market in Texas. ( )
