I can honestly say that in the 22 years I’ve lived in Texas, I’ve never seen a tarantula (at least not one outside a glass box or cage).

I live in NW Oklahoma. One fall we drove between Tulsa and Stillwater every weekend and never saw less than 20 crossing the highway. The were all headed south. Must have been going to Texas.

LOL! I live in West Texas.

I moved out of a (rented) house in the “country” because every time we got a bit of moisture, Tarantulas would come up out of the ground right in the front and side yards.

Not to mention the Scorpions on the upper door frames.

Living in town, I haven't seen any tarantulas, still a few scorpions though.

Go to Big Bend. They are protected. You can gently encourage them to leave your hotel room but you can’t squash them.

Some people are just tarantula (and snake) magnets!
