Texas was the biggest state before Alaska became the forty-ninth state in 1959. Texas is smaller than Alaska, but it is much bigger than the other states. One good way to understand the size of Texas is to learn about its weather. Different parts of the state have very different kinds of weather.
Laredo, Texas, is one of the hottest cities in the United States in summer. The best time to visit Laredo is in winter, when it is pleasantly warm.
Amarillo gets very cold in winter. Sometimes there is more snow in Amarillo than in New York, which is a northern city. Summers are better, but sometimes it gets quite hot. The best time to visit Amarillo is in the autumn when it is
cool.
If anyone asks you about the weather in Texas, ask him, "What part of Texas do you mean?"
