Texas Commonwealth

The Texas Commonwealth was one of the thirteen commonwealths of the pre-War United States of America. Created in the mid 20th century, it was comprised of the former states of Texas and Arkansas.

Background
In 2052, a television documentary into the withered husk of the Texas oil fields brought the oil shortage into the American households, and revealed how deep the energy crisis ran.

Texas Wasteland
Not much is known about the former state of Texas after the Great War. John Cassidy often wondered whether Texas survived the War at all. However, Tycho is known to have gone as far as the Gulf of Mexico in Texas and then headed back west. After his quest with the Chosen One was over, Cassidy went on to search for Texas, breaking south through NCR and past Dayglow.

Some Brotherhood paladins were sent there to investigate strange rumors of mutant beings surfacing near the area formerly known as North Texas. It turned out that Attis was gathering his mutant army there to search for the FEV stored in Vault-Tec's Secret Vault under the ghoul city of Los. After the paladins went missing, some initiates were sent to the town of Carbon to find them.

After the Caesar's Legion's defeat when it tried to take Hoover Dam, Caesar has moved east of Texas, past the legendary cyclones that rage for most of the months of the year (Anton, the leader of the non-NCR salvagers in Denver, is from the Midwest, home of the radioactive cyclones, and fled to this area to escape Caesar's Legion).
