Texas Retirement
options are as many and varied as the big state of Texas.
Texas' state nickname is the "Lone Star State".
Second largest state in the USA, Texas is the largest of the 48
contiguous states and only Alaska is larger. The largest
*county* in Texas is bigger than the combined states of
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware.
Texas is home to over 125 state parks and forests, making this
an outdoor mecca for sports and leisure activities. The
state of Texas has over ninety mountains that exceed a mile in
height. The tallest peak in the state is Guadalupe Peak at 8,751
feet.
Climate here may pose
a challenge for some retirees. West Texas is an arid
desert, while East Texas has a climate more like that of
Louisiana or Florida.
History abounds here, especially of the "old west" variety.
Here you'll find The Alamo and the battle of San Jacinto.
Texas is no stranger to the modern world too - here we find NASA
as well as many major universities and leading research
facilities.
