El Paso AUTO INSURANCE (TX)

El Paso lies in the western part of Texas in the American southwest. The city lies directly on the Mexican/U.S. border. It is at the intersection between the states of Texas and New Mexico and Chihuaua, Mexico. The city is home to the University of Texas at El Paso and one of the largest military complexes of the U.S. army. The city is nearly divided in half by the Franklin Mountains. One half of this divide includes the central business district of the city while the other is more natural.

The demographic of El Paso is predominantly Hispanic and many Mexicans fleeing drug violence have crossed the border to settle in there Despite the violent reputation of Chihuaua, Mexico and high immigration rates, El Paso has one of the lowest crime rates among big cities in the U.S.


The city experiences very hot summers and mild winters. El Paso has an extremely dry climate leading to frequent wind and dust storms particularly in the spring, with gusts gaining speed up to 75 miles per hour.

Most of El Paso’s rainfall is caused by monsoons and results from southerly and southeasterly winds carrying moisture from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Mexico. This precipitation, which generally occurs between July and September combines with the city’s hot weather to create severe thunderstorms, often resulting in flash flooding and hail. Parts of the city are subject to more serious flooding during the summer months due to severe seasonal monsoons. The city has constructed flood-control dams and reservoirs in an attempt to deal with these issues though a storm drain utility to handle the flow of rain water is still lacking.
