The weather is moderate. Lovely Fall, mild winter with occaisional snow. I own a shovel but the snow melts by the time I need to use it. Rather hot August. Thunderstorms  More

There's definitely lots of jobs/economic opportunity. It's quite racially diverse if that's your thing. Houston has awful urban sprawl. Expect awful traffic. Hot as hell  More
