E. All of them. Born and raised in Texas and used to it. Didn't even have A/C in school until I got into high school (new school). My wife was raised in NM and LOVES the heat. I don't LOVE it, but can handle it.

Hum...Heat isn't an issue with either one of those cities as much as the humidity. I'm a Native West Texan and can handle 110 no problem but in Huston, 90 degrees probably feels like 110 to me due to the humidity. Dallas and Austin isn't near as bad for me, 100 degree summer day feels about like 110.

NONE of the above! Great places to visit in the WINTER.

I'm a native West Texan too, and I've reached the point where I don't tolerate heat very well at all, though I'll take oven heat to sauna heat, given the choice.

All of them. Houston I do have some issues with and always have (as did my mother), but that's more from sinus headaches from the humidity than the heat.

I'm Texan born and bred, which means that by the time the genes got to me, the inability to deal with heat had already long been eliminated!

Cold, on the other hand . . .

I don't have a problem with any of them and am one of the oddballs here who loves humidity, because dry air causes my skin and sinuses more problems than humid air.

I voted Houston because of the summertime inshore breezes. But I can take any of them. But then ... I'm from Texas and choose to be from Texas. If I was gonna gripe about it I wouldn't live here.

I would have to vote NONE as well. Born and bred West Texas, and the sort of heat/humidity in those three places literally makes me ill. Worse as I have gotten older.

The cold on the other hand, bothers me very little.

110 in Dallas last summer seemed like about 98-100 in Houston. It was much easier to take the Dallas heat even though I worked outside most of the day which I had never done in Houston.
