Roma, Texas

Roma is a city in Starr County, Texas, in the United States, and is also popularly known as Roma-Los Saenz because the incorporated city absorbed the area called Los Saenz. It lies along the Rio Grande, directly across the river from Ciudad Miguel Aleman in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. The city serves as a port of entry from Mexico into the United States by way of the Roma-Ciudad Miguel Aleman International Bridge. At the 2020 census its population was 11,561, which makes it a small border city whose role is shaped by the river and the crossing it hosts.
