Have visited Texas several times and would like to move there.
Where do i need to go to get a relevant visa to live here? Or what are the chances of me getting one?
I currently work as a Technical Sales Manager for a construction company, what are the current opportunities like?
Any advice would be appreciated.

You might contact the US Embassy in London to get information about visas?
Funny! I would love to live in England! If you move to Tyler, East Texas let me know! Moderator cut: No realtor info

The immigration laws to moving to the US is true all over the US no matter which state you live in.

Getting a visa by telling the consulate that you're in love with TX and want to move here will not get you anywhere as they will not likely give you any visa that allows you to live in the US. You can get a non-immigrant visa titled H1B if you can get a US based employer to sponsor you, meaning they will have to have offered you a job and is willing to undergo the sponsorship process that includes labor certification. Or, if you have direct family, i.e. a sibling or parent who can sponsor you to come on an immigrant visa. Immigrant visa sponsorships typically take a long time.

You can find out about visas to the US from the Dept of Homeland Security's site:

Too bad you're not from Mexico... you'd be able to just walk right over and never have to worry about a visa or even learning English.
