India and Texas share a passion for sports.

You often hear “…if Texas were its own country…”

And that’s for good reason! 

Did you know that Texas’ GDP is larger than that of Russia, Canada, Italy, Brazil and some other countries? @BEA_News just revealed that Q2 data shows the GDP for the nation increased at an annual rate of 2.1%, while TEXAS grew by 4.9%.

See the following links about this news:

And trade data for October shows Texas still dominates in exports!

It pays to be in TEXAS!
