South Texas is a region of the U.S. state of Texas that lies roughly south of, or beginning at, San Antonio. The southern and western boundary is the Rio Grande River, and to the east it is the Gulf of Mexico. The population of this region is about 3.7 million. The southern portion of this region is often referred to as the Rio Grande Valley. The eastern portion along the Gulf of Mexico is also referred to as the Coastal Bend.

Boundaries

There is no defined northern boundary, although it is believed to be at the city of San Antonio and from an east to west line extending from the Rio Grande near Maverick County to the Gulf of Mexico, but turning southeast at or near Lavaca County, and continuing towards the Gulf of Mexico to separate it from East Texas and Southeast Texas. The Rio Grande serves as the western and southern boundaries and separates Texas from Mexico. The eastern portion of South Texas is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico.

Custom rim paint in the south Texas area?
Q. I have an orange 05 ninja 636 and I would like to get the rims painted to match the fairings. Is there anyone in the south Texas area that someone can recommend? Thanks, Daniel I wasn't sold on painting it over another means of changing the color, I am just unaware of the others.
Asked by dajackson - Tue Feb 17 21:58:54 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Don't paint the rims. Instead ask around for a powder coater in your area. Any decent bike shop should be able to refer you to one. The sand and salt in the air will play havoc on "painted" rims.

A. Some nurseries specialize in terrarium plants. Or look around moist areas nearby. Near a pond, stream, or river. Even a swampy area may yield some interesting plants.
