With all of those ports Can you name a South Texas port? The southern most is Corpus Christi which is a couple hundred miles from the Rio Grande (That's about the whole width of the state of Georgia). Corpus isn't even a trade port, just fishing and some offshore oil suppliers. You don't see any significant trade ships until you reach the Houston Ship channel. Year-round agriculture is confined to a narrow strip of land within 10 miles or so of the river flood plain and hasn't grown much. If anything it shrunk as the snowbird-trailer parks have covered over the fertile areas. What factories? No oil down there, but there is some natural gas, in depleating fields. South Texas is a beautiful place, but that's because it is so wide open and deserted. If you were to visit you would finally know what the wide-open ranges are all about. TP
