A Guide to Search Results for "Texas"
help - feedback - sponsor this guide
The search term "Texas" is a somewhat unequivocal geographical reference to
the State of Texas, the second largest state in the United States, and formerly the Republic
of Texas. The word Texas is derived from a Native American Hasinai word that means
"friends" or "allies." This word was first used by the Spanish to refer to the Native
American people who inhabited Texas when it was first discovered by Europeans during the Age
of Discovery, and most search results for Texas have a clear and
obvious geographic connection to what is now the State of Texas.
