Newly arrived Texan here.
I'm an oldtimer here but moved here by choice from Pennsylvania more decades ago than I care to remember. I fled that unionista state but not before I busted a labor union with a decertification vote.
I will always regret not being born here but I had little say in that matter. But similar to others (Pennsylvania at the Alamo), who were not fortunate enough to be native sons, I opted to make Texas my home through a deliberate decision after evaluating all of the states to find the one most reliably Conservative and Christian.
If you don't mind my asking, where did you come here from? And what motivated your choice of selecting Texas?
