Because it's largely worthless, and it needed to be that big in order to have the approximate value of the other states.
I'm kidding, Texans! Ultimately, the answer is that it's that big because it is. There's no law regarding the size of a state (Texas isn't even the biggest, it's the second largest, after Alaska... in fact, if Alaska were divided into two equal halves, Texas would then be the third largest state).
# Alaska # Texas # California.
Canada is 3,856,751 square miles large.The United States is 3,537,441 square miles. Texas is part of the United States. Therefore Texas is not larger than Canada. It is actually 268820 square miles large.
Alaska, Texas, and California are all larger in land area than Minnesota.
Not a fair question; the US is 50 times bigger than Vietnam...and has oil in Texas, California, and Alaska...and other states.
Colorado is the 8th largest state, so the other 7 states (in order of rank) are Alaska, Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada
No, Chicago, a city, is not bigger than Texas, the 2nd largest state.
No. Alaska is bigger (larger in area) than California..Alaska and Texas are both larger states than California.California is "bigger" than Alaska based on population - it is more populous.
vdnkvl;hjks;AHNJki believe Texas is bigger than California
I'm pretty sure nothing about, nor in, New Jersey is bigger than Texas. As far as geographic area, Texas is many, many times bigger.
France is roughly the size of Texas, much smaller than the United States.
I think not. I think because the white house is there than Washington DC is bigger in social status. Texas is all about the big state which is pretty good. So I guess that Washington DC is bigger than Texas in all ways. I have another reason to tell you is that there are still more people living in Washington DC than Texas but Washington DC is pretty crowded and Texas is really big with alot of people but on the other hand Texas may be bigger. I think that because i just asked the internet that question and Washington DC is bigger than Hallock Texas
In geography its bigger. But there are more people in Texas than Alaska.
