Willacy County, Texas

Willacy County is down on the Gulf Coast. It’s flat as a pancake. Port Mansfield is a little slice of paradise for fishermen. Redfish and trout are practically jumping into boats.
Raymondville, the county seat, has seen better days. But there’s still life in the old girl. Agriculture drives the economy. Cotton, sorghum, you name it.
The winds off the Gulf can be fierce. Hurricanes are always a threat. Wildlife refuges protect some incredible birds. The poverty rate is high. Times are tough for a lot of folks. But there’s a resilience here that’s hard to match.
