Right, but you then went on to say that Houston already is one.

These are right-wingers, what do you expect?

As if that would make it any better.

For "Southern culture" it would be better to live East of the line extending from Victoria to Austin to Dallas and probably avoid Houston and the I-10 corridor to Louisiana unless Cajun = Southern to you. The rest of Texas is decidedly of different culture with mixes of Latin America, Multicultural, Coastal, and Western with perhaps small dabs of Southern. It won't be hostile anywhere but it won't be like Tennessee or Indiana.

jackalope is correct.

Also, I disagree strongly with the assertion above that small towns are your best bet for avoiding high taxes. You may find that you have more personal freedom in them, but I can think of several towns just W of FW for which I would pay much more in property taxes than I do right next to DFW airport.

His descriptions were a bit too broad, but I don't disagree with his point.

You have lots of people in here that's right wingers. So of course they are going to add the little additive to anything that's liberal. But if you are looking for conservative areas, go the suburbs of the major cities. Stay away from the main cities and FW is starting to trend like the other Texas cities. Houston, Dallas, and Austin are moderate cities that leans left slightly. Dallas and Austin more than Houston though not overwhelming.
