The Gulf Coastal Plain region of Texas is divided into 5 subregions. The Piney Woods subregion is heavily forested and located in eastern Texas. It contains the Big Thicket National Preserve. The Gulf Coastal Plain subregion near the coast contains many bayous and includes the cities of Houston and Corpus Christi. Houston is the largest city in Texas. The South Texas Plains subregion includes the Rio Grande Valley and its largest city is San Antonio. The Post Oak Belt subregion contains lignite and its largest city is Bryan-College Station. The Blackland Prairie subregion has rich black soil suitable for farming and contains the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.
TX History Ch 2.1
Texas has a variety of landforms including plains, hills, plateaus, and mountain ranges. The plains are flat or gently rolling land while the plateaus are flat elevated land that drop sharply on one or more sides. Texas' rivers and streams eventually flow into the Gulf of Mexico, with most located in East Texas. The major river systems include the Rio Grande, Colorado, Brazos, and Nueces. Texas has few natural lakes but many artificial reservoirs used for water storage and irrigation. Underground aquifers like the Ogallala and Edwards aquifers provide water for homes, farms, and industry across much of the state.

Impact of marsy’s law on parole in california an empirical study
Abstract:
Marsy’s Law (Proposition 9) purported to increase Victims’ Rights by making significant changes to parole in California. Supporters of Marsy’s Law intended to decrease lifer inmate’s “chances” to obtain parole by statutorily lengthening the amount of time between parole hearings, and to increase victim presence at parole hearings by creating greater opportunities for victim participation.
I conducted an analysis of 211 randomly selected parole hearing transcripts in California both before and after Marsy’s Law was implemented. I found that the passage of Marsy’s Law nearly doubled the amount of time set by the Parole Board between parole hearings. It is unclear whether Marsy’s Law has increased victim participation at parole hearings or has impacted the quality of victim participation at parole hearings.
