Ok, we are wanting to move to Texas, however, we are going back and forth between the Tyler area and the San Antonio area.
We are wanting like an acre or two with a decent home, with the option of having a horse or other farm animals, and GOOD schools!
I have noticed that the Tyler area seems a bit cheaper for homes than the SA area. When I say SA area, we are looking a suburbs (Helotes, Boerne New Braunfels etc). We have friends that are moving to SA, that is why we started looking in the area.
Could you all give me YOUR two cents on where you would choose and WHY?
Weather as far as humidity and temps (I live in the Arizona desert, anything you have there is cooler than this

, but as far as humidity, which is better or worse?), critters (scorpions, ticks, snakes etc), I know they are a given in Texas just as they are here (except for ticks) but just curious, and any other info you might give that would help in being a deciding factor.
Thanks in advance!
