South Texas is a region of the U.S. state of Texas that lies roughly south of, or beginning at, San Antonio. The southern and western boundary is the Rio Grande River, and to the east it is the Gulf of Mexico. The population of this region is about 3.7 million. The southern portion of this region is often referred to as the Rio Grande Valley. The eastern portion along the Gulf of Mexico is also referred to as the Coastal Bend.

Boundaries

There is no defined northern boundary, although it is believed to be at the city of San Antonio and from an east to west line extending from the Rio Grande near Maverick County to the Gulf of Mexico, but turning southeast at or near Lavaca County, and continuing towards the Gulf of Mexico to separate it from East Texas and Southeast Texas. The Rio Grande serves as the western and southern boundaries and separates Texas from Mexico. The eastern portion of South Texas is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico.

What are some South Texas band camps available for a 13 year old this summer?
Q. I play percussion and I'm looking for a good band camp that plays concert music. I need a camp in South Texas that I can afford and enjoy. Any suggestions?
Asked by super_sadie23 - Wed May 20 22:51:25 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Check out the "Instrumentalist" magazine website. It usually has a listing of summer band camps, but you may have to check back several times. They also publish an issue dedicated to listing the summer band camps - perhaps your director has a copy that you could look at. Musician, composer, teacher.

What is it like living in South Texas, husbands going to be working there as a Border Patrol Agent?
Q. My husband has a job with the as a border patrol agent and upon his graduation from the academy we'll be moving to south texas, either the Brownville area or around El Paso. What is it like living down there(im from Ohio) I know border towns are nasty so is there nice place to live say 45 mins away? Also Im taking my horses with me, do you think I'll have a hard time finding a place to keep them?
Asked by barrelracer328 - Wed Feb 4 20:40:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No you shouldn't have a problem finding a place to board your horses. You may even find a house to buy or rent with enough property to keep them there. It's very, very hot in both of the towns you named. A large % of the population is Hispanic, so you'll hear people speaking Spanish all the time. You're in for a huge change being from Ohio. It's nothing like the big cities of Texas -- Houston, Dallas/Ft Worth, Austin, San Antonio. Good luck.

I live in south Texas and would like to have a pet rabbit, but I have some questions first!?
Q. I plan on building a large hut for the bunny in the shade outside in my back yard, Can the bunny live outside in the summer if it has an adequate hutch and plenty of shade? I plan on moving the bunny inside for the winter, but South Texas summers are pretty warm... I was hoping someone from a warmer place has some experience with bunnies could give me some advice?

A. Not in Texas, sorry. Rabbits are heat stressed above 85 F. They actually cope better with cold temperatures than hot. Keep it indoors all the time.
