East Texas is a distinct geographic and ecological area in the U.S. state of Texas.

According to the Handbook of Texas, the East Texas area "may be separated from the rest of Texas roughly by a line extending from the Red River in north central Lamar County southwestward to east central Limestone County and then southeastward to Galveston Bay", though some separate the Gulf Coast area into a separate region.

This area includes all or parts of 49 counties, totaling almost 40,000 square miles (100,000 km) and a population of almost 6 million. Another popular, somewhat simpler, definition defines East Texas as the region between Interstate 45 as the western border linking Dallas and Houston, the Louisiana Border as the eastern border, the Oklahoma/Texas border as the northern border, and Galveston Bay shores as the southern border.

Most of the region consists of the Piney Woods ecoregion, and East Texas can sometimes be reduced to include only the Piney Woods. Houston has distanced itself from East Texas over the past fifty years and is today more associated with the Coastal Bend along the Gulf of Mexico; however Houston has been considered part of East Texas for most of the city's history. At the fringes, towards central Texas, the forests expand outward toward sparser trees and eventually into open plains.

Do you know of any places in East Texas that hire at 15?
Q. Northern East Texas. And no, I won't do a lemonade stand, mow lawns, babysit, etc. Most places say 16, I know, but the few that I know of with 14-15 have no empty positions. I have tried McDonald's Burger King Chick-fil-a Taco Bell and some others. Thank you for any and all help. Thanks so much, and GOD Bless you all.

A. This mess has been all over the web all day. What I wanna know is, since this happened in Texas, why didn't they just "accidentally" shoot him at the scene and call it "resisting arrest"?

What snake in East Texas is brown with white/tan stripes?
Q. I didn't measure it, but it looks around 3 feet and I guess they're more like tan rings rather than stripes about every 5 inches or so.

A. There are several snakes that meet that description, but without more specific information or pictures it's hard to tell which. One that is very common in east texas is the texas brown snake, and I'll put a picture. These max out at about 12 inches.
