Good Morning Sherry and All East Texas List. I am really confused about all this East -- West-- NorthEast-- SouthEast Texas Parts. The way I think of where Texas is---from being in Wichita,Ks.--- It's that Great Big Area South of Indian Terr. on I-35. I found out you can drive days to get across it and you better take 2 launches before you go anywhere. It ever a state should be called "the big sky" it should of been Texas. I do know where the Red River Area along north Texas border is. Went to Bonham (Fannin County)2 months ago. What a lovely Place and ever one so very nice, loved the way the lady's talked there. Now would that of been Way South--South--South--North- East Texas to Me? Please Answer whether I'm right or not, as I'm very worried that I may be Wrong,<G>. Carl in Wichita Well, Like some I wasn't going to get involved but I just couldn't help myself because my husband and I graduated from a High School in Nacogdoches Co.,(East Texas) and our children were born in Nacogdoches Co. I agree with Tom as to the boundaries of East Texas. We are now in Pasadena Texas (Stinkadena). We are trying our best to get back to "God's country." The air is so fresh and clean there. Amazing. My husband also says, "you can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy;" We are proud to be from East Texas and will be back there one day.
