Texas needs no introduction. The Lone Star State looms larger than life in America's imagination. Texas, so we're told, is a land of swaggering cowboys, epic battles for independence and big dreams: big everything, in fact. But what's truly unique about Texas is that it exceeds even the most Texas-sized expectations.

If it weren't for Alaska, Texas would be the largest state in the U.S., and if it weren't for California, Texas would be the most populous. Texas' capitol building, in Austin, is taller than the national capitol in Washington D.C. One of the state's most famous ranches is larger than all of Rhode Island. It's estimated that Texas has almost as many bovine residents as it has human ones.

In East Texas, where the landscape and accents recall the South, giant cities like Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston have grown from stockyards and railroad stops to become gleaming metropolises where IT and energy companies run the economic table. In South Texas the state's Anglo culture becomes more and more distant, the sounds of Tejano music and the aroma of chili con carne becoming ever more present the closer you get to the Rio Grande. And out in West Texas, well, out in West Texas all the lights and sounds and bustle of the rest of the state, the rest of the world, drop away into quiet desert night.

Now that you're moving to Texas you'll want to keep the following facts close at hand:

• The population of Texas is 20,851,820.
• Texas, originally a territory of Mexico, declared its independence in 1836. For nine years Texas existed as an independent nation (the Texas Republic) until its leaders signed a treaty to become a state within the U.S. in 1845.
• Though it doesn't have as high a profile as Nashville or New Orleans, Austin, Texas is widely known as the "Live Music Capital of the World" due to its numerous small venues and long running "Austin City Limits" PBS series.
• Texas is big: El Paso, Texas, at the Western edge of the state is closer to California than it is to Dallas.
• Texas' official state mammal is the armadillo.
• In Texas it's illegal to drive a car that doesn't have windshield wipers. It is legal, however, to drive a car without a windshield.

Put on your straw hat, your cowboy boots, and get ready for some good old fashion Texas fun:

• Cathedral of Junk: This structure is completely made out of junk, used parts, and what you normally would call garbage. Car bumpers, lawnmower parts, wheels, circuit boards, and basically anything lying around is what you'll find in the walls of this great Austin landmark.
• Conspiracy Museum: In Dallas you can visit this very interesting museum. This is not just another conspiracy museum, it's THE conspiracy museum. Revisit controversial events in history and see if all ads up.
• Cascade Caverns: Check out this wondrous attraction and explore what lies below the great Texas plain.
