Maybe a little farther south, Mexico, many Americans are moving in around Lake Chapala, Guadalajara.
I don’t know what size customer base you require, but personally I like San Antonio or Corpus Christi areas. Any of the cities you mentioned do have nice areas 40 minutes or so away though. We can always use more conservatives here!
You are more than welcome to come to the Lone Star state. I live in east Texas, two hours east of Dallas. I travel extensively for business. If I were to move and I had to rank the selections you gave, I would go with
1. Austin
2. Dallas
3. San Antonio
4. Houston
We have no state income tax and a healthy economy. Texas has everything you could want in the way of culture, geography, education, business, etc. I love living here. Feel free to email me privately for more specific questions/info.
For business purposes, DFW or Houston would probably be best. The city dwellers are mostly libs, but if you go to the outskirts, people are quite conservative. Ft. Bend County, TX (Sugar Land area) or Katy, TX are a couple places in the Houston Area you might want to look at. The Woodlands area north of Houston is nice too. Similar conservative enclaves exist around the DFW area as well.
Try Katy TX
IMO, any thing less is going to land you in liberal country.
Laid back attitude, can-do spirit, close enough to DFW airport, Sundance Square, and all without the pretentiousness of Dallas. :)
Come to Comal County, north of San Antonio. Good people, conservative with beautiful land. Good schools, too. We do have libs moving in from all over, and our fair share of RINO’s. We could use even more conservatives. The county has wide open country, still.
1. Houston and environs (Harris County and surrounding counties are very conservative, best cost of living, much more cosmopolitan than Dallas, lots of jobs, hard summers but the other seasons are terric to good))
2. Fort Worth (a wonderful, conservative, small city)
3. San Antonio/HillCountry area (a beautiful area with many retirees and military)
4. Dallas (a poor man’s Houston - more liberal, higher cost of living, hard winters give it worse weather than Houston, large financial sector)
5. Austin - only if you like living with university faculty leftists, university students, university hangers-on (they just like the “scene”), and government “workers” (yes, there are people in a tech sector, but they want to be like the lefties in Silicon Valley)
What business are yo in?
The Oak Cliff area of Dallas is a very quaint neighborhood with a character all its own.
And check out the Polytechnic area of Fort Worth too. Its rustic with a little salsa spice thrown in. /s
I’m in Cypress...NW Houston...and I’m wanting to get out of Texas. I’m sick of the heat!
I wouldn't want to live anyplace where I would be threatened every year by hurricanes like Galveston or Corpus Christi, that gets old.
I wouldn't want to live in Dallas but Ft Worth is a very nice town with nice suburban neighborhoods around it.
Good luck on your move and welcome to Texas!
Coppell, small town feel, nice community, great schools, right outside of Dallas in Dallas County!
Btw, the last Freeper who asked a similar question ended up moving his family to Coppell after I suggested it. :)
Take some of the names given to you and go to google and look them up on the City-Data website. It will give you some info about the area.
Example: Katy, Texas

Take a look at North Dallas area, particularly Prosper. Suburbia/farm mix, 40 min from downtown (rush hour), good schools, good local PD, good people.
Ticks the size of sparrows...Chiggers the size of big spiders..and they chew on your privates.
Not to mention it's 140 degrees today...and last Jan. it was -20 degrees...
But hey....TX is great...Go on down there!!
