Texas is known as the Lone Star State. It has a mostly dry climate with hot summers and mild winters. Some of the top attractions in Texas include the state capital of Austin, the River Walk and Cactus Hotel in San Antonio, and the Great Plains region. Texas is proud of its state symbols like the bluebonnet flower and mockingbird, and boasts a culture centered around rodeos and American football.
