Sure hope NewEgg opens a Texas office :-(

Be careful what you wish for, Texas was looking at taxing Amazon and the others as well, and there is still a lot going on behind the scenes. At one point Amazon was threatening to close their center here, and they are playing a dangerous game of chicken.

Texas has a very active lobbying group that is going after internet retailers, and it's not just the local shops, it's companies like Wal-Mart.
