Alyssa, you are right about Caddo. I have always heard the same.
I have had questions about it strictly speaking – there had to be some small spring-fed lakes and lakes formed when rivers change course – such as along the lower Rio Grande. In working on a Mitchell’s Lake (“Lago de los Patos”) on early Spanish explorers’maps of San Antonio area, I found a small lake on the maps right about where Mitchell’s is now. There were some small springs just west of the road across from ML and they probably were the source. But, we sure never were lake country like Minn. even though wet East TX would seem to have the rainfall?

With regard to non man-made lakes in Texas, according to my sources, Caddo Lake in East Texas is the only “real” lake. That should tell us something about the nature of Texas.
