The length of the highways varies from US 83's 893.4 miles (1,437.8 km) inside the state borders to Spur 200 at just 0.05 miles long.

But it retains the regionalisms and distinct cultural identities of the Tejanos, of Cajuns, of the Irish, African American, and Anglo American enclaves established prior to the republic era and admission to statehood.
