For the nuclear power plant, see South Texas Nuclear Generating Station.
South Texas is a region of the U.S. state of Texas which lies roughly south of, or beginning at, San Antonio. The region includes Corpus Christi, Eagle Pass, Laredo, the metropolitan areas of the Rio Grande Valley, and South Padre Island. The region's culture has multiethnic influences. One might look at the writings of J. Frank Dobie, who was born and reared in South Texas, to begin to understand the Anglo underpinning of the current society of the area.
