East Texas is a distinct geographic and ecological area in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the East Texas area "may be separated from the rest of Texas roughly by a line extending from the Red River in north central Lamar County southwestward to east central Limestone County and then southeastward to Galveston Bay", though some separate the Gulf Coast area into a separate region. This area includes all or parts of 49 counties, totaling almost 40,000 square miles (100,000 km) and a population of almost 6 million. Another popular, somewhat simpler, definition defines East Texas as the region between Interstate 45 as the western border linking Dallas and Houston, the Louisiana Border as the eastern border, the Oklahoma/Texas border as the northern border, and Galveston Bay shores as the southern border. Most of the region consists of the Piney Woods ecoregion, and East Texas can sometimes be reduced to include only the Piney Woods. Houston has distanced itself from East Texas over the past fifty years; however Houston has been considered part of East Texas for most of the city's history. At the fringes, towards central Texas, the forests expand outward toward sparser trees and eventually into open plains. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I didn't measure it, but it looks around 3 feet and I guess they're more like tan rings rather than stripes about every 5 inches or so.

There are several snakes that meet that description, but without more specific information or pictures it's hard to tell which. One that is very common in east texas is the texas brown snake, and I'll put a picture. These max out at about 12 inches.

Q. We'll be passing through Dallas, Tx on our way to Shreveport, LA and may need to stop for the night between these two locations. I know its just small towns in between like Myrtle Springs, etc... - which town(s) do you recommend and why? Looking to stay close to the I-20. Thank you! This is a road trip to move me to Florida - so that is the ultimate destination. But I need good options of where to stop for the night if we need to. Specific hotels are great too! Thanks! Asked by Beach Gal - Fri Feb 22 14:07:18 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am on Google Earth and there is a Hampton Inn and Ramada Inn at mile maker 554 in Tyler, Texas. And on mile marker 556 there is a Best Value Inn. All 3 of these hotels are easy on and off to I-20. Tyler is 98 miles East of Dallas.
