Texas is huge.

But there is no currently active geology in Texas, thus it's a rather old, weathered place like the rest of the central and eastern USA.

Ergo, Texas ain't like Oregon.

However, being a huge state, it does have a lot of variety. The greenery depends not only on location but on the time of year and LUCK. For example, this past summer saw a severe drought in central and southern Texas while El Paso's desert bloomed with green and flowers in an abundance of abnormal rainfall.

But "abnormal" is normal in Texas. The weather is crazy here and that's part of why I love it. I find the west coast (where I lived for 30+ years) too monotonous and lacking in the dramatic skies, the power and clashing of atmospheric forces... I LOVE TEXAS!!!
