you do realize that the three Texas Districts are still larger than most of the rest of the Texas dristicts right?
well the first Texas split peeled South Texas off of the East/North areas. (Texico District has been in place for a long time combining West Texas and New Mexico)
At that time there were people driving 10+ hours to attend district events.
Right now, you have people in the North Texas area that drive more than 8 hours to Lufikin. My drive is about 4 hours.
By contrast Louisiana is one of the larger more robust dristicts and one of the longest drives is New Orleans to Alex. and that takes about 3.5 hours.
Just from geographical perspective this split will get more people and more churches involved in district events. This helps drive UPCI culture to the local church.
(all you libs might want to freak out now... that sound you hear is my evil laugh hahaha)
ALSO and no less important is a very simple reality that Texas regions as you know have very different cultural constructs and mentalities.
both areas are going to be more reflective of the people in their areas than they were before.
As Districts, East Texas, South Texas and North Texas are still among the larger districts in the UPCI.
