Thinking about moving to Texas.... Will be getting my Government Clearance soon and was thinking of getting a security job in texas. I was thinking Houston/Austin part of the state. Something close to the water. Cali is turning out to be EXPENSIVE!! I need to get a house of my own already, i'm 25 years old.
How do you guys like everything out there? Is there alot to do? Are the cops/sheriffs strict on racing? Any suggestions on where NOT to consider? Any big companies that pay well in that part of the state? Lay it on my guys, I want to know EVERYTHING that can be of help.
It will be sometime w/in the next year-year and a half.

It's true. Texas rocks, and Californians are considered weird (we call them flakey), but everyone knows that Texans run away to Cali, and Californians run away to Texas. With that being said, I'd recommend that you run away from California and hurry!

I'd say that Houston will sweat you out and while Austin is Cheaper, it's not THAT far behind California depending on where you live. You're best bet is DFW. I know alot of people who left California before it flat-lined and came here and bought 3 houses and rented 2 out...

i have family moving here from cali, from salinas, and la
due to the cost of living, and higher paying jobs, lower real estate prices.
the house that my uncle owns out there is wortha mil., same type house costs about half that or less here in tx. way less, llike 300,000$
makes sense to me.

Austin has some nice lakes, nice places around there in the hill country. One thing I missed about Southern California when I came to Houston was how unscenic it is. Very flat, no hills or mountains. But if you like water, Galveston isnt to far away and theres always the cleak lake area. Austin is a really cool place to live, Houston has its down sides BUT its kinda one of those cities if you spend time looking around, you find a lot of hidden potential, the food is great, awesome night life, major league sports and a huge race scence. Street racing has been dead for some time, but you have 2 1/4 mile tracks, an 1/8 mile, if your in to LS1s, you couldnt be in a better city.
