Should I move to TX (Instead of AZ??)

[1stFreedom]

I'm thinking about packing up from NY and moving out to Texas. But before I consider moving out there, I want to make sure I'm not moving to another Kalifornia or New York.

What is the political climate like? Is it conservative? Republican?

What are the philosophical undertones of the population? Conservative? Liberal?

How about the faith of the population? Is there a large Catholic [faituful] population?

How are the gun laws? Open carry?

Income tax? Corporate Tax?

Is the State homeschool friendly?

How organized are Freepers out there?

What is the best place to find employment for IT workers?

What is the best place to move to avoid allergies?

Is the state moving towards the left?

Is it as dry as Arizona?

Texas is so big I guess the weather is different in different parts of the state! Almost every night there is a nice breeze in the evenings in San Antonio.

Just a note to thank you again for this great idea for a thread. I'm delighted to see that you've already received so many responses!

I can't advise you on Texas other than to tell you about a friend who lives here in Massachusetts. His wife decided to leave him after 15 years and move near her parents who had retired to Texas. The next thing we knew, in a very short space of time, she already had found a job in her profession and bought herself a trailer. Now she's remarried to Mr. Right and she doesn't live in the trailer any more. Sounds like she did OK for herself.

As for me, meanwhile, I'm still trying to decide between accepting offers of relocation help from either my cousins who moved to Louisiana...see this thread:

Should We Move to Central Louisiana?

or my daughter's grandmother who has retired to Fort Pierce, Florida...see this thread:

Should We Move to Fort Pierce, Florida?

Everyone's responses have been great; FReepers rule!
