Most earthquakes in the state have been small or have produced minimal impacts. No earthquake-related fatalities have been reported in the state, though one earthquake in Texas caused a death in the neighboring Mexican state of Chihuahua in 1923. The earliest recorded earthquake in Texas occurred near Seguin and New Braunfels on February 13 ...
Snyder is located on Deep Creek, a minor tributary of the Colorado River of Texas. Snyder is about 90 miles (140 km) southeast of Lubbock, 80 miles (130 km) northwest of Abilene, 90 miles (140 km) northeast of Midland, and 100 miles (160 km) north of San Angelo.
The earthquake may have been caused by movement along oblique-slip faulting in West Texas, the most seismically active region in the state. Shaking from the earthquake was perceptible within a 400 mi (640 km) radius of the epicenter, affecting four U.S. states and northern Mexico.

] Fault or Balcones Fault Zone is an area of largely normal faulting [1] in the U.S. state of Texas that runs roughly from the southwest part of the state near Del Rio to the north-central region near Dallas [2] along Interstate 35. The Balcones Fault zone is made up of many smaller features, including normal faults, grabens, and horsts. [3]

Texas State Bank opened its first branch in 1991. The bank operated in Shelby, Angelina, and Tyler Counties. The bank was purchased by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria along with State National Bank for $2.6 billion USD in 2006. [1] In 2019, the bank merged with American State Bank, with American State Bank being the successor of the merger. [2]
The primary purpose of a seismometer is to locate the initiating points of earthquake epicenters. The secondary purpose, of determining the 'size' or magnitude must be calculated after the precise location is known. [citation needed] The earliest seismographs were designed to give a sense of the direction of the first motions from an earthquake.
