Area City Named “Most Dangerous” in Texas
Last month, it came out that Odessa Texas had alarming rates of STD's compared to the rest of the state. Now, a study done by a Houston law firm has found that Odessa is "the most dangerous city" in the state.
Now, immediately when you think of "dangerous city" you automatically think "crime". That's definitely part of the equation, but not the only part. Crime stats as well as socio-economic factors were analyzed.

1.) Odessa
2.) Corpus Christi
3.) Beaumont
4.) Houston
5.) Amarillo
Amarillo?!? Well, I guess getting your foot stepped on by a cow counts as dangerous.
Abilene was number 11. El Paso was number 12.
