I've never spent any real time there maybe a day here or there for work.  We have two bases there for work.  I'd only move there for the weather.  I'm sick of cold weather.  I have a cousin that lives there she's been there for several years so I guess she likes it well enough.

Texas is like New, Mexico and Az. You will love it or hate it. I don't think  there is in half way  to it. When I  lived in Ohio I hated it. I could not  wait to get back to my beloved state of N.M.. So much sunshine the  great mountains, being able to see for miles and miles where we live.  Yes we get some winter but not a lot. Yes it gets cold here too. and it dang sure get  balsted hot. But all in all I will live in the wes.

I only visited Texas once, and it was during a trip from Houston to Louisiana. Personally, I think the state is very overrated (made so by those who live there).

I want to visit Texas some day i think the reason why Texas is so appealing is there's a lot to do a lot to see

I've lived here for two decades and still haven't found anything appealing. :x

I traveled through Texas many years ago.  The only thing I know about the state is it's huge and takes many many hours and maybe days to get out of and you see a lot of cattle. Some of these posts make it sound interesting.

Have been to Dallas and San Antonio for vacations.  Was very different than Chicago much more laid back but don't think I could live in either city.  Have family down there and they love it.  Guess it is a matter of what you like and can get used to.

I would LOVE to move from California to Texas when I retire... the taxes in California are insane & the quality of life is lowest of all 50 states, the pace of life here is FAST -- something I've noticed that is absent in other states, except maybe in New York City.   Texas has reasonable priced homes, taxes are low to none... I believe they don't have state income tax, or property tax. You get tons of land if you want.... I would like to live by the ocean there, perhaps around Houston or Galveston. There is a big exodus of people leaving California to other states due to taxes, probably why other states are becoming so liberal, even the conservatives in California are mostly socially liberal / fiscal conservatives.

The humidity though..... ugh.

I moved from Southern California to Oregon back in 1969 for all those reasons and Oregon does not have Hurricanes.

I am sure people who live in Texas like it.  I like it where I live. Others would not want to live in my state. And that is fine.
