Texas is a very weird state with a very weird political system going back 150 years, one based on distrust of government and shaped by the last time the state constitution was updated. It is one of only two U.S. states that were once independent nations, with Hawaii being the other. It is the second-largest state in land size. Only Alaska is bigger. It is 854.7 miles wide and 899 miles long. Driving east to west or north to south can take roughly 14 to 15 hours, all things being equal.
