The Texas State Line is the boundary that separates the state of Texas from its neighboring states. It runs for approximately 1,254 miles, bordered by New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. This line is significant for legal, economic, and cultural reasons, as it defines the jurisdiction and governance of the areas on either side. The state line is marked by various signs and monuments, indicating the transition from one state to another. Travelers often stop to take pictures at these markers, which celebrate the unique identity of Texas. The line also plays a role in regional trade and transportation, influencing the movement of goods and people across state borders.
