Texas has experienced numerous droughts throughout its history, with significant events recorded in various decades. Notably, the droughts of the 1950s, 2011, and 2017 were among the most severe, impacting agriculture, water supply, and the environment. While it is difficult to quantify the exact number of droughts due to differing definitions and scales, Texas has faced many periods of drought over the years, reflecting its climate variability.

Texas experiences a relatively low number of earthquakes compared to more seismically active states like California. However, it has recorded thousands of small earthquakes, particularly in areas like the Permian Basin and near the border with Mexico. Notable events include the 1931 Valentine earthquake and more recent swarms in the 2010s related to oil and gas extraction activities. Overall, while Texas isn't known for large earthquakes, it does experience seismic activity.
