ETG nailed it.
North & NorthEast / Far East are different (imo)
I live and visit Northeast Texas that includes Tyler,Longview,Marshall, Texarkana . It does not include Sherman & Denton.
I can certainly say it would help with confusion if sub-forums were present separating Tyler as it's a larger city. Then Longview, Marshall and Texarkana.

I cannot speak for the Southeast Texas cities as I dont live or regularly visit them.
