Ok, the mantra seems to be Perry created jobs in Texas. Was there new legislation he initiated, then got passed, which created jobs?

No it's just that Texas has benefited from companies and people relocating from high tax states, etc, like California.
Texas made itself business friendly and picked up all that accordingly.

I don’t know what you know about Perry but I see him as a flip flopper who can be liberal one moment and now has conservative rhetoric spewing forth like a geyser.

Over the years he’s proven that from signing hate crimes legislation in 2001 (that GW Bush opposed) to advocating for open borders with Mexico including planning to seize land to build a superhighway for Mexican travel into the US.

The mandating of Guardasil vaccinations for young girls to prevent a sexually transmitted disease was bad enough, but the really dirty thing is that Perry was taking money (campaign money) from the company that made the drug.

Perry is one of those Karl Rove type business backed “electable” candidates who in the end will just run up the national debt tab at a slower rate of speed than Obama.
