"In terms of states, California (13.3%), Texas (9.5%), and New York (8.1%) have by far the largest economies. The states with the smallest economies are Vermont (0.2%), Maine, Rhode Island, North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska (all representing about 0.3% of the US economy)., Southeast (21.3%), Far West (18.6%) were the largest regions
"Texas increased the size of its economy by almost $300 billion, more than any other state, growing from 8.8% of the US economy in 2011 to 9.5% in 2014. "

Has the Texas economy been able to weather the significant drop in oil and natural gas prices--which is likely to be ongoing in 2016 from what I read? I'd imagine the bloom is coming off the economic rose down there.
