Welcome to Texas, the 28th state to enter the Union, and the largest in the lower 48 states. The name is generally considered to have been derived from a Caddo word meaning "friend" or "friendship", referenced in the slogan on the sign, although you're about to test its legitimacy. You are entering Gainesville, the seat of Cooke County, and this stretch of I-35 has a 75 mph speed limit, which some drivers treat more as a guideline than actually law. Dallas is about 70 miles ahead of you, and Fort Worth is closer to 60.
