Dumas is a sleepy little town in the Texas Panhandle. Cost of living is low but so is quality of living. The town is dominated by the Hispanic population, many are illegal immigrants. Much of the employment is at Swift/Monfort, the beef packing plant in Cactus. Gangs are becoming more of a problem every year. The education system is geared around athletics, but the only successful sport is volleyball. Like most small towns, people care more about what you have than what kind of person you are. Gossip is rampant. I grew up there but got out as soon as I could.
