Texas is a television programme presented in the format of a single episode. It falls under the broader category of programmes and is identified specifically as an episode within its series. The show’s title and classification are the only details provided about its production. In this episode, the central narrative follows a character named Ben who travels to meet a former fashion photographer. The photographer had previously lived in a grand mansion in New York before deciding to relocate. His new home is situated in a region of Texas that, despite covering an area comparable to that of London, is inhabited by merely 250 people. The contrast between the photographer’s former urban, high‑profile lifestyle and his current residence is a key element of the story. The Texas locale, expansive in size yet extremely sparsely populated, highlights the dramatic shift from a bustling New York mansion to an almost deserted stretch of land. This juxtaposition underscores the photographer’s unusual choice to leave a city of glamour for a remote, low‑density environment. Ben’s visit serves as the conduit through which viewers are introduced to this striking change of setting. By meeting the photographer in a place that is as large as London but home to only a few hundred residents, the episode paints a vivid picture of isolation and scale, emphasizing the photographer’s departure from his former life in New York.
