rural Texas
Lone Star farmland
The parts of Texas outside its major cities—vast stretches of ranch land, small towns, and agricultural communities that make up most of the state's territory but a minority of its population.
Rural Texas evokes a particular culture: pickup trucks, cattle ranches, Friday night football, and conservative politics.
They moved from Houston to rural Texas for cheaper land and slower pace of life.
