Yes. The Texas coast if where the oil refineries are, which are the facilities that have the equipment to transfer the oil from the pipeline to the ships to send it overseas. Texas has those deep-water ports because Texas ships a lot of oil. On ships. Across the ocean. To China. And India. But mostly China. On big boats.
Well duh but all of that is irrelevant to the fact that the US used to drill and keep our own oil.
