I'd assume West Texas.

The Northern parts of Texas could possibly feel the impact of the Madrid Fault line.

I don't thnik teh evidence show that tey do. Texas is the stae that more are moving to than any other state;which speaks volumes.Youyr always going to have envy and jealousy in some when that happens. Often its misery loves company really.

Actually I never said that, haha. I do go outside. And I stay outside for hours at a time. I will get in the shade every chance I get though. I think I would have to be in the heat, if I ride the bus. Also, if it is to hot outside I will go to the gym.

If y'all would click on the links I posted, you'd see that there is a history of earthquakes in Texas, including a couple in North Texas in 2008 and 2009. Nothing major since 1931, I think it was, though.

I'm not going to rehash everything I said to him but you can look it up if you want to which I doubt you want to do so.

Yes, but they're not very bad. I think the worst Texas has had was a 5.8. Again, California is not in nearly as much danger as the New Madrid fault. If that one blows, it will be terrible. Read up on it; it's interesting but scary.
