Central and South Texas just got done with a prolonged drought. Since September, it has rained in Austin every 2-3 days and the lake levels have returned to normal but the vegetation still looks pretty sad in some areas. Mix in the effect of one hard freeze and some plants are not going to recover.
Other than high mountain country, Texas has something for everyone - beach land, rolling hills, thick forests, mesas, coastal wetlands, etc. There are some “mountains” around El Paso but they don’t compare to Colorado or Alaska.
However, two words of warning - you must be able to tolerate hot weather in the summer and you must get along with people who think blue jeans and cowboy boots are suitable attire for all occasions. If you can’t do those two things, best to leave that Yankee ass at home.
Honestly, I’m seriously considering a relocation where such things exist. Indiana is ok, but it isn’t all that interesting. And the stench of Chicago can be felt all the way down to Indy.
