Haha I knew that would get some attention. I'm wanting to move south, and Texas is #2 on my list of places to check out. I want to be near water though, I love the beach. How is the job market down there? Anything I need to know before heading south? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Well I live in houston tx, i live about an our away from galveston island. But i'll tell ya what, the water ISNT pretty! And it gets REALLY humid. Texas isnt a bad place to live, but i wouldnt want to live where im at. Id much rather be in austin or dallas.

As for jobs, cant help ya there

 

South Padre Island....if you dont mind the non stop partying

 

Pretty good partying, water is still not what its cracked up to be. I still find all the waters on the coast of texas to be disgusting, but thats just me. But padre island water is better than galveston island water

 

where do u live at now? wheres ur 1st choice at? and ya the water isnt the best, but still this is texas, ...texas.. everythiing goes on here, so why wouldnt anyone want to come here?!

 

Texas IS the home of hot chicks and fast cars

 

North Texas isn't too bad. It doesn't get as humid as South Texas does, but it still gets plenty warm. Pretty much the thing to remember about Texas is that we have 2 seasons, summer and summer. Yes, it gets chilly in the winter, but not for very long and nowhere near as cold as the north and northeast. Although North Texas is quite a drive from the beach, we do have some of the best lakes in the country (ask any Bassmaster). Lake Ray Hubbard, Lake Lewisville, Lake Lavon, all quite large and pretty clean water (well, Ray Hubbard is clean enough at least).

 

not san antonio

 

The job market in Houston is good. Should have no problem finding work. The cost of living in Texas in far better than the east or west coast, but as stated the Gulf coast sucks in this area.
