We have relatives in Tyler and it’s way too populated for us.
I’m not real happy with the Baptists these days. The Baptists had a HUGE ranch near Kingsland sitting on PRIME taxation lakefront land that they gave to some Katrina trash. The Katrina folk built/building nice brick homes on the land and have titled everyone with pastor or elder or whatever so they don’t have to pay property tax. Hubby questioned one of them as they were camped out at Walmart with a fundraiser about not paying taxes and she just stuttered.
These Katrina folk also claimed the be victims of a cross burning. Problem was the facts didn’t make sense and the mysterious cross, surprise!, belonged to them. Someone must have skipped over that bit about thou shalt not lie.
And their kids’ behavior at school? Well...
Yes there are all kinds there indeed, including a mosque and school. We have met people from Washington state and a Jamaican house flipper-LOL.
However compared to Houston it is pretty tame...
Don’t tell Houston peeps about Katrina it wiped out West Houston.
It’s still off the beaten path compared to many bigger TX cities & my husband has 120 raw acreage near Henderson. So the best of both worlds.
