NO, Dallas is know as Silicon Prarie, and Austin is known as Silicon Hills, and Houston is known as Silicon Bayou(LOL, just kidding), but seriously, Texas has no Silicon Valley, because then you are implying that Dallas is the center of technology, and innovation , etc, in Texas, which isn't true since TX has 2 major tech centers, DFW AND AUSTIN, with Houston having a growing tech industry, and isn't far behind Austin and Dallas.
*God, these threads are so redundant, but I try to only post on it when I see something really off.
Greater Houston IS the largest economy in the region, look it up, which is impressive considering DFW is considerably larger by about 500,000 more people.

And that was so the most recent GAP data, so we have nothing else to use, and this is the most accurate, so get over it, Greater Houston is more of an economic powerhouse than DFW.
DFW GAP Increase
2005-315,710
2006-340,639-+24,929
2007-362,075-+21,436
2008-379,863-+17,788
Greater Houston GAP Increase

Greater Houston is only going to distance itself from the rest of the South even more, unless something happens, of course, but, right now, its just growing, economically, larger than everybody else.
