The Chihuahuan Desert in Texas

In the Texas desert, winter temperatures are cool, and summer temperatures are extremely hot. Most of the area receives less than 10 inches of rainfall yearly. While some winter rain falls, most precipitation occurs during the summer months. The Chihuahuan Desert is a shrub desert. This means that low shrubs and bushes grow well here.
