I've lived in Houston Dallas Amarillo and now Kerrville in the Hill Country. I love it here in the hill country.

Probably more than any other state. But other than that, none.

Chicken fried steak is legally classified as a vegetable in Texas.

Well, if Texans actually can and actually do send their children to public school and those schools are quality schools, that's one huge redeeming quality they have over Louisiana right now.

There is your problem. Dallas in the core is pretty good. Lots of great walkable neighborhoods, cafes, bars restaurants..... The suburbs suck balls.

Where in the hell are you located, boy? Sounds like Corsicana, which is an ugly (and rough) town.

I prefer the Texas that existed pre-Yankee, pre-Californian, pre-Louisianian and especially pre-Katrina. Katrina nearly took the Texas public school system to its knees.

Really weren't that many Mexicans up this way until the late 1990s.

But we're chock full of them now.

No, I've been to numerous cities in Texas for work and pleasure. Every time I'm more than happy to return to Louisiana, and I'm not a huge fan of Louisiana at times either.
