Texas geography is a bit weird. Everything is 20-30 miles apart with a bunch of little small communities. There are huge sprawling ranches and private reserves all over the place. Very little public land too. Herds of 100+ whitetail deer hang out in the city parks at night. Armadillos and opossums are everywhere. I'm sure in city centers it's a bit different because there isn't as much wild land. But even in the outskirts of Austin you will see tons of ranch land and 5 acre homesteads. It's pretty cool to ride at night and see the wildlife living alongside housing tracts and 7/11 stores. Although if you like gardening you can bet a deer will eat your roses before too long. All the gardens look like maximum security prisons!
