Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Texas shares borders with five U.S. states (and Mexico internationally):
| State | Direction | Border Length | Defining Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma | North | ~540 mi | Red River (mostly) |
| Arkansas | Northeast | ~180 mi | Red River / survey line |
| Louisiana | East | ~360 mi | Sabine River / Toledo Bend |
| New Mexico | West | ~520 mi | Survey line (32nd parallel) |
| Colorado | Northwest | ~50 mi | Single point (Four Corners-ish) |
Mexico — ~1,254 miles along the Rio Grande (south/southwest).
Texas is the only state bordering four time zones (Central, Mountain via NM/CO corner, and de facto in far West TX). It's also the largest lower-48 state — so its neighbors get a lot of borderline.
