Alot of people will gripe about heat, yes it's hot if u do not like heat sorry it's hot here, move up north. The people here are extremely nice and if u are looking for stuff to do, there is more than I can possibly mention to do in Texas. [read more...]

We are from Katy, TX and deciding whether to relocate (due to my husband's job) to either Kerrville or Boerne (Cordillera Ranch). Which is a better place to live also we have two kids ages 11 and 14. Any comments on schools, community, how people are sociable, etc. Any information would be great.[read more...]

Texas is not the ideal place for everyone, least of all me.We live in a town so boring, the excitement is watching the grass grow. Nothing to do, no place to go withour traveling hundreds of miles. Wind blows in the summer all the time.High utility bills,no jobs ( few like Wal-Mart,Burger King etc) pay minium at best. Its a right to work state so employers can hire slave labor.The restraunts are mediocre at best. Been here 3 years too long.Want to move to Las Vegas!!!![read more...]

The weather in Texas is extreme. The summers are REDICULOUS. It is too hot to handle. Drought is the common theme. Even when it does rain, it onkly takes a few days to get back to drought restrictions.[read more...]

Most part of Texas is just butt ugly and its an armpit of the United State of America. Mostly in the panhandle and a large area in west Texas is just plain and ugly nothing to see. Far east Texas is ok there a lot of Oak and Pine trees which is looks better than the rest of texas. Its so hot and humid here in Texas and its seem like summer is getting longer every year and less rain every year and water is becoming a serious problem here. Nothing really much to do and if you try to do something fun outdoor during the summer you can get sick from the heat. I have live in Arizona, California, and New Mexico and Texas is the worse state I ever live. I am moving back out west maybe to Oregon or Reno Nv where I will be closer to California and Oregon and I just can't wait to move out of Texas and its easy to get tired of living in Texas than all the other state I live in before. I thought that Arizona was bad living in Phoenix but no texas is worse than Arizona. I miss the drier air and the Mountains out west and the blue ocean. I am fixing to move out of Texas very soon.[read more...]

Love winters in Texas![read more...]

After living at the Lake of the Ozarks for two years, and becoming acclimated to snowy winters, our family moved back to Texas in early 2010 to land in the hottest summer in Texas history. In two words, it was absolutely miserable. The house we live in does not have ample insulation at all. Even with multiple layers of curtains, three window units and the central air on almost constantly, the inside temperature was 85 degrees or higher during the day, for months. The outdoor air was thick and suffocating, and being outside was tolerable for a few minutes at a time, even early in the morning. I do not recommend Texas for seniors, children, or middle-aged women who suffer from hot flashes. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and I cannot wait to leave the South forever.[read more...]

I love everything Texas! [read more...]

The Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Texas metro area is the best place to live and raise a family. The Cost of living and quality of life are affordable. The perdominance of active duty and retirees gives the aire of stability and comforts of hometown living. Affordable housing: homes for sale and rental market rates are competitive. Country living at it bests. From Texas you can travel anywhere in any direction by air or by land and enjoy life. [read more...]

Texas is not so great because the weather is so miserable here from late May until Sept. Not so pretty here and its alright in a few places. Its so boring and not many sight seeing. Out west like California,Oregon,Washington,and Colorado there is many sight seeing to see and many outdoors things to do and here in Texas if you try to do some fun outdoors activity you might get a heat stroke because its so hot and humid here in Texas most of the time its over 100 degree everyday and drought is a huge problem and a growing problem. The panhandle of Texas is just butt ugly and its flat with no trees and mostly grass. Southeast Texas there a lot of pine trees which I like but its still flat and is so humid compare to the panhandle. West texas is very boring nothing to see and there is some mountains until you reach closer to EL Paso but EL Paso is a boring city and ugly. There is many illegals living in Texas and its a very serious problem because they are causing a lot of crime problems. The job market is a joke here in Texas and I have no luck finding a really good job with high pay. I should have stay in California or move Oregon or maybe to Colorado but my family talk into me to move to Tx and now they all move out. Some people here are nice but not very many and they are mostly snobs. I have visit other states where people are so much nicer and I came from a state where people are much nicer than Tx. Property taxes is a joke here and its so high that I don't know how people here can afford their house payment with those high property taxes. Other states like Oregon and Colorado have a much lower property taxes. I am moving to Oregon or colorado because the weather there is so much more comfortable than Texas. Its may rain a lot in Oregon during the winter but I rather live somewhere where the summer is so nice and not deal with a crappy summer in Tx. I am fixing to move out of Texas very soon.[read more...]

Very affordable [read more...]

Thanks for the helpful comparisons.[read more...]

Texas is just hot, no matter when, no matter where. [read more...]

Texas is the worse place I ever live. I should have stay in California years ago but I didn't really had a choice . I regret moving to Texas and I really miss California because of nicer people and very comfortable weather in small town called San Luis Obispo near San Francisco. There many things that I do not like about living in Austin Tx, the weather is awful, its get very hot and humid. In spring time we get very bad thunderstorm that brings damaging hail and sometimes tornado and its can be repeated a lot during spring time mostly dangerous hail storms. In dallas Fort-worth area gets a lot of tornados. There only four months that the weather can be very nice and its Feb, March, Oct, and Nov. During Dec and Jan we get terrible cold snaps with ice storm.There is nothing very much to do here or to see. In Ca and Oregon there a lot to see because of blue ocean and beautiful mountains there and the gulf of mexico here in Tx is a joke because its not blue and very humid and dirty water. The people here are not too great, there a lot of racist redneck here in texas and I hate those kind of people because they act like its a cowboy time, and they talk very trashy and very rude. Also a bunch of hillbilies here too. There are some very nice people here but not as many where I used to live when living in California. Its hard to find a very good paying jobs here in central Tx. I have been to Oregon before and I am moving there very soon because very tired of dealing with the people here in Texas and if you are reading this I do not recommend moving to Texas, if you have to because of job just be aware that Texas is not the best place to live because its ugly nothing compare to California and oregon. The weather is very uncomfortable from May to late sept. There a lot of Mexican people that are very bad too. There are a few very nice ones. Overall the people here any kinds of race are not very nice here in Texas and I am just not used to that because San Luis Obispo ca and Oregon have the nicest people there and there no rednecks living there. That my story I have to say about Texas and its sure is a hellhole and I am ready to move soon out of here soon.[read more...]

If you are considering relocating to Texas, you need to know about the rapidly rising crime rate. Crime is on the increase not only along the Texas/Mexico border and large cities throughout the state. Crime is increasing in rural areas as well. Thoroughly research the area of Texas you are considering relocating to. Better yet, choose a safer state and city to live in.[read more...]
