The one in the center?

I can't find a map, but I am told that the five states were pre-defined. The one in the center was shaped like the current Texas, just smaller. The United Methodist Church split up the state into five districts, which match the pre-defined states.

No matter which one was anointed the 'real' Texas - there would be bar fights and school rivalries over it forever and a week.

Texans have long (and selective) memories.
