Texas Facts

 

 Nobody asked for them,

but here are some little known Texas facts:

 

Texas is the only state to enter the U.S. by TREATY, instead of by  annexation. (This allows the Texas flag to fly at the same height as the US  flag.)

 Texas has had six capital cities:.

1.    Washington-on-the-Brazos

2.    Harrisburg

3.    Galveston

4.    Velasco

5.    West Columbia

6.    Austin

The Capitol Dome in Austin is the only dome in the U.S. which is taller than the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. (by 7 feet).

 Beaumont to El Paso: 742 miles
