The query names Texas Station, but no venue by that name appears in the published list this article draws on, so no straight-line distance can be stated for it. Road distance is longer than straight-line distance in every case, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time for any venue. What follows is a geography-and-logistics explainer built only on the documented venues the list does contain for Texas.
The venue the query names is not in the documented set
Texas Station is not one of the three venues the published list documents for Texas. Because no row exists for it, this article cannot give its coordinates, its city, its straight-line distance to any reference point, or any facility figure for it. The honest answer to the location half of the query is that the specific venue asked about cannot be measured here.
The keno half of the query is also not something this article can answer for that venue. How a game is played at a specific property is a table-rules and house-procedure matter that changes, and no such facts are supplied. The rest of this article covers the fixed geography of the venues that ARE documented, and how a reader can measure distance from their own starting point.
Three documented venues, three fixed points
The published list documents three venues in Texas, each in a different city. Each city has exactly one documented venue. The list is a snapshot, not a regulator licence count and not a complete current list; venues can open or close after the list is edited.
| City | Documented venues | Latitude | Longitude |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eagle Pass | 1 | 28.71055556 | -100.48944444 |
| El Paso | 1 | 31.75916667 | -106.48861111 |
| Livingston | 1 | 30.71 | -94.93805556 |
These coordinates fix each city's position. Eagle Pass sits in the south-western part of the state, El Paso in the far west, and Livingston in the east. The three points are spread across a wide area, which matters for anyone planning to visit more than one.
Straight-line distances between the documented cities
The only distances this article can state are great-circle distances between documented coordinate pairs. A straight-line figure is not a road figure. It ignores terrain, water crossings, road networks, and state borders, so it is always shorter than the distance a vehicle travels.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Eagle Pass to El Paso | Not supplied | great-circle |
| Eagle Pass to Livingston | Not supplied | great-circle |
| El Paso to Livingston | Not supplied | great-circle |
No city-to-city pair among the three documented Texas cities appears in the supplied distance matrix. This article therefore cannot measure any of those three legs. The reader who needs a distance between two of these cities must measure it themselves from the coordinates above, or use a mapping tool that calculates road distance.
Why straight-line and road distance diverge
A great-circle line is the shortest path along the Earth's surface between two points. A road cannot follow that line. It bends around terrain, crosses rivers only at bridges, follows property boundaries, and detours through population centres.
In Texas, the difference can be large. The state contains hills, river valleys, and long stretches of open land where the road network is sparse. A straight line between two points may cross private ranchland, a reservoir, or a border with another state, none of which a public road can simply traverse. The road figure is always longer, and the gap grows with distance and with geographic obstacles.
Where the three documented venues sit within Texas
Using only the coordinates, the relative positions are clear. El Paso is the westernmost of the three, sitting at roughly 31.76 degrees north and 106.49 degrees west. Eagle Pass is south-west, at roughly 28.71 degrees north and 100.49 degrees west. Livingston is east, at roughly 30.71 degrees north and 94.94 degrees west.
El Paso lies west of Eagle Pass and west of Livingston. Eagle Pass lies south of El Paso and south-west of Livingston. Livingston lies east of both. These directional statements are supported by the coordinates alone and do not depend on any road or route knowledge.
If the keyword includes "me" or "my location"
The query here names a specific venue rather than a personal starting point, but the same principle applies to any reader wondering how far a venue is from them. A venue's position is fixed. The reader's position is not. No article can know where the reader is standing, and guessing a starting city would produce a false distance.
The correct method is to take the venue's documented coordinates, take the reader's own coordinates from a phone or map, and measure the great-circle distance between them. For road distance, a mapping tool that accepts two addresses or two coordinate pairs is the right instrument. This article does not publish road mileage or travel time, and no reader should treat a straight-line figure as a driving figure.
What to confirm before you go
Because the query names a venue that is not documented in the supplied list, the first thing to confirm is whether Texas Station exists under that name and where it sits. The published list is a snapshot and may lag a closure, a rebrand, or a relocation. The authoritative current list of licensed venues in Texas is held by the state's gaming regulator, not by this article.
For the three documented venues, the changeable items a traveller must confirm are the same for any casino property: current operating status, hours, and whether the venue is open to the public on the day of travel. None of those facts are supplied here. The venue's own published contact page or guest services line carries the current answer.
FAQ
Does this article give a distance to Texas Station?
No. Texas Station is not one of the venues documented in the published list this article uses, so no coordinates, no city, and no straight-line distance can be stated for it. The article can only describe the three venues the list does document, and it cannot measure the city-to-city pairs among them because those pairs are not supplied.
Why is road distance always longer than straight-line distance?
A straight line ignores everything a road must respect: terrain, rivers, property lines, and the need to connect through existing routes. Roads bend around obstacles and follow the available network. The great-circle figure is therefore a minimum, not a travel figure, and the gap can be substantial in a state as large and varied as Texas.
How should I measure distance from my own location?
Take the venue's documented coordinates, then take your own coordinates from a phone or map. Measure the great-circle distance between the two points for a straight-line figure. For road distance, use a mapping tool that accepts two coordinate pairs or addresses. Do not treat a straight-line figure as a driving distance.
