Since the South Texas Plains Region borders Mexico it is no surprise that many of the towns in this region of Texas have an Old Mexico feel to them. Mexican heritage plays a large role in this region of Texas.

The South Texas Plains Region covers San Antonio at its north end to the Mexican border in the south. San Antonio is the biggest attraction in the South Texas Plains. Laredo, on the Mexican border is the other big city in this region.
