We're trying to use an automated software to do what, right now, is entirely manual by me (and thus, means updates don't happen frequently). With it automated, you guys can post reviews and the data will likely be more accurate and up-to-date as multiple people will be submitting data on each park.

I just checked TPWD and I guess I differ on their idea of where the Hill Country ends, as they classify parks like Bastrop in the Prairies & Lakes area (DFW being the largest metroplex in that area) of Texas, while to me it's most certainly a Central Texas/Hill Country Park (Austin & San Antonio area). They don't duplicate it in their Hill Country section, however -- TPWD: Hill Country Travel Region

And Colorado Bend, since it's so far north from both San Antonio and Austin, I almost consider in the Prairies & Lakes region yet TPWD puts it in the Hill Country region.

To me, the regions are more confusing than the nearest major city, which is why WildTexas.com has always segmented the parks (in our searches, anyway) that way.

If everyone's clear on TPWD's groupings, I don't mind mimicking them here (and there's no copyright infringement in arranging a list logically), I just seem to have a mental disagreement with how some of the parks are arranged there.
