NYC to LA is in the high 60ms range, so no, 200ms from Dallas to US west coast is not expected.

It's 180 ms from Dallas to Djibouti, so no, that much latency to the west coast of the US is not normal.

Or from Gaborone to Frankfurt, which is some 184ms.

Short of long re-route paths or congested, high packet loss links, I'd not expect the latency between any 2 points in the U.S. to hit 200ms.
