Global Trade Magazine has named Texas its top state for global trade in the nation.
Texas, which has led the nation in exports for the past 11 consecutive years, beat out Florida and California this year for the magazine’s top honor.
“Over the last 10 years, Texas has built one of the best job creation climates in the nation by committing to low taxes, smart and predictable regulations, fair courts and a maintaining a highly-skilled and educated workforce,” says Texas Gov. Rick Perry. “This combination has not only attracted businesses of all sizes from around the world, it has also given Texas the opportunity to grow and thrive.”
Global Trade conducted a survey that compared production volume of small and midsize companies, which the magazine defined as a firm with fewer than 500 employees.
The survey ranked each state by the quality of its infrastructure and regulatory hurdles placed on its companies.
“Texas’ success is no doubt a sum of its parts,” Global Trade wrote. “Its excellent infrastructure, its commitment to low regulatory burdens and the wealth of global enterprises already established among its many cities all make the state the undisputed frontrunner for global trade.”
In a separate report, the magazine also named six Texas cities in its top 25 best cities for global trade. Houston took the top spot, followed by San Antonio, Dallas, Corpus Christi, Brownsville and Beaumont.

Calling San Antonio Your Home
San Antonio, as anyone who has lived here longer than a couple of weeks knows, has plenty of things that set it — and its people — apart. The local newspaper asked locals to complete the phrase, “You know you’re from San Antonio if ______” and here’s what the readers said:
you schedule your annual vacation to begin on Oyster Bake and end the day after King William.
Tammy Edmondson
you are having Tex-Mex food, and a boat ride along the San Antonio River.
Susan Bauernfeind
you get hungry and what you still really want is a bean burger and a Chihuahua dog from The Triple S (Sill’s Snack Shack) on the Austin Highway
Ferdie Vollmer
you expect a day off from work and school to attend and maybe participate in the Battle of the Flowers parade since Fiesta is a way of life for the month of April
you are aware of how much water the Aquifer has and when it is close to hitting a higher stage level
you have a family member in the military, retired, or planning to join
you give directions with the terms “inside/outside the loop,” “North Side,” “South Side,” “Stone Oak,” and “downtown”
the Spurs and the rodeo are related experiences and you love them both
you don’t mind wearing flip-flops most of the year and have maybe one heavy jacket
