Opinions vary. Looking for the consensus on what separates East Texas from the rest of the state.

Besides anything that has been taken over by Houston, I would say any town behind the pine curtain. I remember driveing to college on hwy 21, and as soon as you pass Crockett the pines would dwindle away and lots more open spaces.

Yes, pine trees. If you're surrounded by pine trees, it's East Texas. When the land opens up into prairies with hardwoods you just crossed into a different region.
