Texas earthquake history

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpiPgYLBlk0

Almost all of the earthquakes in Texas have been caused by one of two sources.

The major source is relief of tectonic stress along fault lines. These are most common in the Rio Grande rift belt, the Panhandle, the Ouachita Belt, and the Coastal Plain.
Small earthquakes have also been attributed to well injections associated with oil and gas field operations and occur in areas near large oil and gas fields.
