Due to the mass scale of the states, it makes a huge difference to what part of the state you want to drive too. For the purposes of this answer, I have used the state capitals, Austin in Texas and Montgomery in Alabama. It would take 13 hours and 19 minutes on average to reach Montgomery if you follow the I-10 going East. Alternatively, you can follow the I-20 East, which will take slightly longer (13 hours and 34 minutes travelling 787 miles).

In 1685, the French settled in (what is now considered) Texas near Matagorda Bay, which is on the Gulf Coast, approximately 100 miles southwest of Houston. It was called Fort Saint Louis, and was explored and established by French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle.

Officially (i.e. per the state), a total of six flags have flown over Texas. Going in order, they are: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States.

In reality, a total of nine flags have flown over Texas. The ones that tend to get left out are:

7. The First Republic of Texas (1819). It was established by adventurers from the U.S. with the capital in Nacogdoches. It has no connection with the 1836-1845 republic.

8. The Republic of Fredonia (1826-1827) based in East Texas with the capital at Nacogdoches. It has no connection with the Republic of Freedonia in the Marx Brother's movie "Duck Soup".

9. The Republic of the Rio Grande (1840) based in South Texas and Northern Mexico with the capital at Laredo.

All of the state except El Paso county (the western tip) is in the Central time zone. El Paso is in Mountain Time.

Spain being a great place with lots of animals wanted to make sure they had food so they brought many animals to see if they could live there so Spain brought over flying dragons, sea-monsters and other mythical creatures that was what the Aztec's thought however they brought flying lizards not dragons as pets and snakes to hunt as a game the Aztec's hadn't seen these animals so they were scared of them and let lose a evil sun god that spat fire from its hands and light from its eyes. the sun god then killed all of the weird animals from Spain and the Aztec's were happy but Spain got angry and sent an army to kill all the Aztec's that is why Spain invaded.
