The distance from the Canada border to the tip of Texas is approximately 1,900 miles. This measurement is based on a straight-line distance from the southernmost point of Texas (Brownsville) to the northernmost point of the U.S.-Canada border (near Northwest Angle in Minnesota). However, if you were to follow the actual roads and highways, the distance would be longer due to the curvature of the Earth and the specific route taken.

The bottom tip of Brownsville, Texas is literally on the border.
The total length from the Northern Canada boundary to the Southern Canada boundary is 8890 kilometres.

The distance from the northern tip of Egypt to the southern border is approximately 1,190 kilometers (740 miles) when measuring the linear distance. However, actual travel distance would differ based on the route taken.
Texas is approximately 801 miles long from its northernmost point near the town of Texline to the southern tip at the border of Mexico.

The state of Texas has a complex shape, so the north-south "length" of the state depends on where and how you measure it. The longest generally-southward straight-line path you can take through Texas is about 806.2 miles. This would be a line in the SSE direction starting from the westernmost corner of the northern Texas "handle" and extending to Texas' southernmost tip. But straightline, due-south distances through Texas are different everywhere, at every different longitude. Here are some examples. * From the center of the northern "handle" straight south to the border: 463.3 miles. * From the right edge of the northern "handle" straight south to the border: 583.7 miles. * From about the middle of the northern border with Oklahoma straight south to the southern tip: 549.4 miles. * From north to south along the eastern border: 248.0 miles.
