Texas experiences a relatively low number of earthquakes compared to more seismically active states like California. However, it has recorded thousands of small earthquakes, particularly in areas like the Permian Basin and near the border with Mexico. Notable events include the 1931 Valentine earthquake and more recent swarms in the 2010s related to oil and gas extraction activities. Overall, while Texas isn't known for large earthquakes, it does experience seismic activity.
