If you take the northernmost point of latitude in the entire state and the southernmost point of latitude in the entire state, and draw a line at the center (which is, BTW, 31 degrees 10 minutes North), this city would lie south of that line.

It is not Pasadena (which, incidentally, is in California, not Texas. And is also not a "main city in its metro area" - it would be considered part of the Los Angeles metro area).

Oh, darn - I just realized I misread my calculations. The city i'm referring to lies NORTH of that midpoint line (31-10), not south. I forgot that higher numbers mean further closer to the pole, not closer to the equator.
Sorry for the wasted time, folks.

Pasadena, Texas, is a suburb of Houston. I have a employee who lives there. Is this city in the west half of Texas?

BTW, that's why I had to give such a detailed answer on the north/south question. Where El Paso lies on the East-West direction, it touches both the north and south borders of the state of Texas, so I couldn't give a simple answer as I might have for a different city, where the state is wider.
