Keep reading for some great reasons to consider relocating to Texas.

Why Live in Texas?

Why consider calling Texas home? There’s a multitude of reasons to move to Texas, such as:

• Its legendary cowboy culture. Texas is well-known for its rodeos and the distinctive style of dress that goes along with it. In fact, the first-ever rodeo was held in Pecos, Texas. The small town continues to host its annual show, so this will be your opportunity to throw on a wide-brimmed hat and become immersed in the cowboy culture!
• It’s a football haven. Texas is home to two NFL teams, the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys, and with quotes such as ‘Football is to Texans, what religion is to a priest’ from former Cowboys coach Tom Landry, you can best believe it is taken very seriously. In addition, you have historic college rivalries between teams such as Texas A&M, Baylor, TCU, Tech, and SMU. With all of this in mind, you can be sure there will be no shortage of iconic games to attend in Texas!
• If sports and cowboys aren’t your thing, from an economic standpoint, Texans also do not have to pay personal income taxes. That means more money in your pocket to spend on the things you love!
• Lastly, the food! Texas is home to many iconic dishes such as chicken fried steak and chili con carne. With a vast array of restaurants and diners, you’ll have no problem getting your fix. In particular, we recommend trying the chicken fried steak at Mary’s Cafe in Strawn, it’s delicious!

Best Areas To Live In Texas

Although we believe there are many great areas to live in Texas, we’ve broken down the top 4 cities to live here:

• Dallas – Located in North Texas, Dallas is a commercial hub with major brands such as AT&T, American Airlines, and Toyota all having office locations there. It is also home to some great attractions, such as the Dallas Museum of Art or the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Also, due to its location, Dallas is a great place to live if you’re a frequent traveller, with other great cities such as Austin, Houston, and Oklahoma City all less than four hours away by car.
• Houston – Just south of Dallas is the ever-attractive H-town, otherwise known as Houston. This city is well renowned for its cultural scene as it is home to world-class museums, theatres, and music venues. We highly recommend checking out the immersive learning center for science and space exploration, which is the Space Center Museum. We’re sure you won’t regret it!
• Austin – Austin, Texas, has become an increasingly popular destination for individuals seeking a dynamic and vibrant living experience. The city caters very well to those who appreciate an active lifestyle with a plethora of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and water sports. Moreover, the city’s social scene, highlighted by the iconic South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, further adds to the city’s appeal.
