Austin beats Dallas/Fort Worth. Dallas/Fort Worth beats Austin. Your call.

It is certainly not like California but still beautiful in its own right.

We will be moving without jobs. When we are ready, we will quit very good jobs, sell most everything and start again in Texas. We have no fear. We are well funded and always end up doing well wherever we go. If you are willing to put in the effort and plan ahead, good things happen.

Everything has been looked at from a distance. We won't know for sure until we check it out in October. Austin is winning due to less of a concrete jungle, less traffic, a little more laid back and more outdoor living focus. Of course we could be way off base, but only time will tell.
