East of a line roughly from Sulphur Springs to Canton to Athens to the Trinity between Fairfield and Palestine and then follow the Trinity south - that's East Texas!

I agree. Conroe is east Texas light with a growing Houston influence.

As someone who isn't from anywhere close to east texas, I'd say yes….its close enough

San Antonio should be hill country on that map for sure

The way they have the panhandle/west Texas categorized is laughable.

I mean, he has a point.

When you look at Texas in "Sectors" rather than "Regions", the lines can really change your POV

I drew this Sector on top of a map of our state. It's roughly showing 12:15 and 4:20 "Clock" lines moving outwards from B/CS.




It does show that it's within the Eastern Texas Sector.

This is why I made this thread. There's a mild argument to be had.

SIDE NOTE: B/CS might actually be one of the most strategically positioned cities in the entire state.

People from west of the Pecos consider BCS east Texas.

Most people west of Pecos need to get their clocks fixed and stop encouraging mountain nonsense. Texas is the center of the universe, that's why it's called the Central Time Zone.

keep up the trolling and enticing dorks to look at imaginary lines.

Nope

People who call themselves East Texans don't think CS is in E Texas. People from parts West kinda do. The triangle of I35-I45 and I10 kinda delineates it as 'Central Texas'. If you drew a North South dividing line in the triangle, it would be in the Eastern part of Central Texas.

I think B/CS is very similar to East Texas culturally, though. A lot moreso than West Texas.

Some of the regions could use some adjustments but this is pretty close, and no BCS is not in East Texas.

---

This is pretty good, but the panhandle damn sure doesn't cross I20.


And East Texas is east of I45, or maybe right along it in places.

Very close, but not exactly east texas.

Moreso than West Texas, yes. But really not very similar at all. East Texas is practically a different state.

East Texas is all east of IH45 in my book.

I-45 runs through my hometown and I grew up about 10 miles west of it... I agree with this.

While all of East Texas is east of 45, not everything east of 45 is East Texas.

Center = East Texas
Centerville /= East Texas

No. I roughly use 45 as the line. Doesn't work perfectly the entire way (mainly near Houston and Dallas), but for where BCS sits, it does.

The Trinity River from about Corsicana south (I45 starts to far west) is a better line. West of the Trinity - almost no pines. East of the Trinity the pines start almost immediately. Canton on I20 is about where it starts.

It's 200 miles from the Pecos River to the start of the Mountain Time Zone.

No
