I agree. TX does not have the landscape that Cali does, but it rocks in many other ways just like Phyte listed above. It surely is my next stop when I move out of this God forsaken state. I need a place with some elbow room, good schools for my kids, a low crime rate, a real death penalty, the ability to own decent firearms, etc, etc.
And......cheap gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
