error "The content is not a allowed in your region"" for Texas??

The US government says that MS cannot sell or download the full versions of Office in certain countries. The encryption used in it is considered a "munition".  Obviously it doesn't apply to you ...

GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS. If the software is marked as requiring activation in a specific geographic region, then you are only permitted to activate this software in the geographic region indicated on the software packaging. You may not be able to activate the software outside of that region. For further information on geographic restrictions, visit go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=141397.

EXPORT RESTRICTIONS.  The software is subject to United States export laws and regulations.  You must comply with all domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to the software.  These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users and end use.  For additional information, see www.microsoft.com/exporting.

The download site thinks you are currently located in one of those restricted locations. The download site uses a "who am I" service to determine your location based on your IP address. Sometimes the "who am I" service gets it wrong.  For example, the first time I saw this question I tried 4 "who am I" services. 2 had me located properly, 2 displaced me by 2000 miles and an international border, Oops.

What can you do:

• When doing the download, make sure to SAVE to HD rather than Run the installation concurrent with the download
• Make sure the page is pointing to the right country. Look in the Upper right or lower left corner to see what the country is. There are “region specific” downloads

• perform your download from a location that uses a different Service Provider, say a friend's house or work.  Install and activate there also!
• Try a different download site / link
• try to contact the download site, probably not. MS does not provide user support for trials
• contact your Internet Provider to see if they can talk to MS to find out which "who am I" they are using so that your Provider can contact them to get their database fixed.  Maybe, but your Provider probably isn't too concerned about the error. <sigh>
