Texas

Welcome to Texas! Like the television commercial says, it is a whole "nother" country. In fact the Lone Star Flag once flew over the independent Republic of Texas. But we let the other states join us in forming a new nation :) Most of the web sites in the Texas section of the Open Directory Project are found in the individual towns and cities (called localities here). No matter how small your home town is, it is probably listed here. Enjoy your visit and y'all come back to see us.

Thank you for visiting the Texas section of the Open Directory Project.

It would help us a lot if you would find a more specific category to submit your site. Very, very few, if any, sites will be accepted at this level.

Most sites will be listed in a subject category in a specific locality (town or city).

Thanks.

Business and Economy
