Area Overview
South Texas is home to the United States-Mexico border, which serves as a gateway to one of the most important economic corridors on the continent. This region offers four Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) to facilitate cross-border trade in addition to two major ports at Brownsville and Corpus Christi. Major cities like Laredo, McAllen, San Antonio and Victoria are hotbeds for talent and emerging businesses. The South Texas region has both coastal and border characteristics. Its two economic centers are the cities of Laredo in Webb County and Corpus Christi in Nueces County. The region includes four metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs): the Brownsville-Harlingen MSA, the Corpus Christi MSA, the Laredo MSA, and the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission MSA. The region has a high concentration of public health, safety and education industries as well as certain petroleum-related industries which helps differentiate the South Texas region from others.
