Excuse me while I LMAO! Yes, the state of Texas has its assets and a good economy (at present.) But you will NEVER have the natural beauty of California (which still kicks Texas' butt in economic size and population) Alaska (which will always be bigger than TX), Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, etc... West is best, so please stop thinking Texas even comes close.

lol defensive much??
California sucks dude you will come to accept it sooner or later
No income tax, better agriculture, better business environment, better education, diverse geography, lower cost of living, ports, beaches, deserts, forests, mountains, hills, plains, etc. The new California.
I am glad that Texas is doing well and the growth is going to Texas and not just the Northeast and California. But as for Texas:
No income tax: True better agriculture: comapred to who?
better business environment: True better education: compared to who?
diverse geography: technically true, but for a huge state the size of France, not really
lower cost of living: TRUE
ports, beaches, deserts, forests, mountains, hills, plains, etc. True
definitely not better educated than Cali...in fact, Texas is lower on the totem pole of public schools (not private or college -- the "elite"). But so is Cali! Cali has better colleges though, sorry.

Is that why Texas was ranked 13 best and Cali was ranked 30??

Texas is 13th best in public schools? What is the source -- that recent study about Education that was posted in this forum? If so, many people suspect that study is biased.
If so, absolutely great! But I've heard otherwise, so I'd like to know the truth I guess.
