East of I-45 (Galveston to Dallas). The further east you go the greener it gets. There's a couple of national forests between 45 and the Louisiana border.

Visit the Texas Travel Guide and do some looking around.

The trouble is there's a very serious drought situation going on right now. See those parts of Texas that are still showing some white on the drought map...toward the NE part of the state? I assume that's where you're more likely to find green grass and vegetation that isn't brown or scorched by fire.

Roughly 95% of Texas isn't desert, it's just that this year is the worst since about 1956 or so. Maybe Paris, TX looks like it normally should.

It isn't very green around the Metroplex, but it's not desert either (yet). Northeast of here, there has been mor precip.

Dallas isn't in a drought anymore. It was on the news.

Dallas will never be a desert.

Normally Tyler, but getting really dry. Most of East Texas is in a "Burn Ban" so, not as green a normal, North of I-30 from Dallas to Texarkana will be "greener"
