Where are the rainforests and glaciers in Texas? Does Texas have a volcano or a fjord? What about islands with mountains?
What about sea cliffs? Alpine lakes? 14,000-foot mountains? The world's hottest place? The world's tallest trees? The world's oldest trees? The ability to drive 20 miles and go from 55°F to 95°F?

Texas doesn't have lakes, let alone alpine ones.
OK, Texas does Caddo Lake, but when it comes to natural lakes, it is on the short end of the stick.
Wouldn't Texas be possible the least geographically diverse state?
I mean, it's HUGE, and not really that diverse. Most of Texas looks pretty similar, or you can at least divide it into arid, prairie, and piney woods areas.
California is small compared to Texas and like 100 times more diverse scenery. Or look at North Carolina, New York, or New Mexico. Pound-for-pound, those areas are much more diverse.
You're kidding, right?
Texas has seemingly endless prairies, green, rolling hills, craggy mountains, fertile valleys, forests of hardwoods and pines that stretch for miles, large rivers, natural lakes with haunting cyprus trees draped in spanish moss, a huge and varied coastline, deserts, you name it. Parts of Texas have fierce winters while other parts have very mild winters. Some parts are very humid while other parts are very arid.
I'm not saying that Texas is THE MOST DIVERSE but to try to paint it as the LEAST divers geographically is pretty ridiculous.
Short end of the stick as in does not have many natural lakes, nor a wide diversity of them. Texas is not in the top half of states for natural lakes.
Ok. I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying that Caddo Lake was the short end of the stick. I wish there were more caddo lakes in Texas but unfortunately you are correct. Most of Texas lakes are nothing more than man made reservoirs. Some of them are beautiful though such as Possum Kingdom Lake but nothing like the Fingerlakes in New York or any alpine lake.
There is NOT any part of Texas that looks like this, not even close.
Oh really? Looks pretty close to me...
