East Texas
East Texas is a distinct cultural and geographic area in the U.S. state of Texas. There are various ways to define East Texas, but the least subjective is that it the area of Texas that is part of the Southeastern United States ecologically. More subjective is the cultural definition; East Texas has been described as the most culturally Southern area of Texas—although this can be offensive to other Texans who consider themselves Southerners—or that the region is not really part of Texas—which offends East Texans. Simply put, East Texas is the region of Texas that looks and feels more like Louisiana and Mississippi than it does South and West Texas.
