Texas Urban Triangle

The Texas Urban Triangle is a triangular shaped region of the state of Texas formed by three interstate highways – I-35 to the west (Dallas-Fort Worth to San Antonio), I-45 to the east (Houston to Dallas), and I-10 to the south (San Antonio to Houston). The region contains most of the state's largest cities and metropolitan areas as well as nearly 75 percent of Texas' total population.
