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.
