Anywhere in Texas ought to be good for you, except Austin, of course. We have no state income tax

But isn't the property tax sky high.....?

people in texas may think it's high, but I've compared online the property tax rates for my state and texas, and texas has it beat by a mile. Plus you can get more house for less in texas since they have so much dang land (in addition to being a huge state, they have about the lowest % of government owned land).

Property tax rates differ by county, I believe, so if that's a major concern for you, just choose your location accordingly. And as another poster pointed out, land is pretty cheap in Texas as long as you stay away from the most desirable sections of big cities.
