Latex is a rural unincorporated community in Harrison County, Texas, United States. It lies about 15 miles northeast of the county seat, Marshall. The community's name was derived, not from the rubber product, but from the names of the states of Texas and Louisiana (it is located near the border of the two states).

Famous quotes containing the word texas:
“Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
