Thank you for your recommnedations, it looks like it may be Dallas or Houston for me. Having a friend that lives in Austin helps, but I did not know how truly liberal it was and the high cost of living. Thanks!
Any big city, even in Texas, acts like a cesspool for liberals. That’s where they congregate. You may as well stick with Austin if you have a friend there to help you out.
Steer clear of Austin. The Dallas/Ft Worth area or Houston suburbs are MUCH more conservative and have thriving job markets.
Best of luck. Texas welcomes hard working conservatives....please don’t invite any libs down, to join you ;-)
