If you have a better quality of life and are not getting shot at it might be..... How many stories are there of Police officers being shot a week short of retirement?
Hopefully it is cheaper to live there! (Which side of TX will you be located on/near? The Gulf coast side, the Ft Smith side? Panhandle or OK Border or maybe up in Alpine at 5000 ft??)
Good luck!
