North Texas
North Texas (also commonly called North Central Texas, Northeastern Texas and Nortex) is a distinct cultural and geographic area forming the central-northeastern section of the U.S. state of Texas. North Texas is generally considered to include the area south of Oklahoma, east of Abilene, and north of Waco. North Texas by this definition is more precisely the northern part of the eastern portion of Texas.
Although the terms "Northeastern Texas" or "North Texas" are not official state designations, there are three groups, totaling 30 counties, generally counted as being in this shared North Texas area: the North Central Texas Council of Governments, with 16 counties; the Nortex Regional Planning Commission, with 11 counties; and the Texoma Council of Governments, with 3 counties. For a full list, in one article, see North Texas#Counties.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6629864. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
