I didn't know that Tejas even had a difference of 150 feet in elevation....it's my understanding that even their "Hill Country" is the equivalent to a large dog's dropping.

You obviously have never flown into El Paso. Landing toward the east you come over some 4-5K mountains, then drop a couple of thousand feet in probably 10 miles. It is scary even in a commercial plane.

In Texas, we have everything. You just have to know where to look:’)

The Hill Country is as hilly as any other hills I've seen. Sometimes moreso.
The West Texas mountains are more like badlands, in Big Bend they reach up to around 7,800 ft. The highest in the Guadalupe range is 8700 ft.

Large dog dropping.
Good. Keep thinking that. Don't move here. :)

The Hill Country hills aren't real high, some probably do go to 150 ft though. But they are also pretty "close" to each other in some areas, with the ravine between them being might steep and mighty deep.
However this was out by El Paso, which means "the pass", as in "through the mountains. It's a bit east of El Paso, 30 or so miles, but El Capitan's peak is at 8,064 ft
And it's base is around 6,500 feet
It's also only the eighth highest peak in Texas.
