I know it's probably hard for a Texas good 'ol boy to pick up roots and move somehere else, but if it were me I would pack up the car, park it around the block and sneak out of town in the wee hours of the morning. Course from almost anywhere in Texas it's a long drive to the border.
In my experience, Texans are the worst expatriates. We all used to trash the Californians, but over these past couple years, i’d choose Californians over Texans.
