Thanks!... this is very helpful.

I've worked in Houston two decades ago, but only remember the blistering summers. Never went anywhere else in the state. It's funny one of the posters mentioned Midland. Just a day or so ago I was in a store and met a guy from Midland Texas. He said he loved it, tho not the tornados!.... I thought I knew about Texas, but didn't realize there were any mountains. It always seemed just miles of 'flatness'.

Marfa, TX has a great climate IMO. One of THE BEST. Of course, employment (making a living) there might be a problem.

Agreed. I think of Marfa as a retirement location, not a place to find work. Same with Alpine and Fort Davis. I do love the climate and scenery in that part of the state!

Well, the Central Texas Hill Country isn't "miles of flatness" either.

No. But it's even worse than West Texas in terms of heat, because of the high humidity.

People say that the humidity isn't bad in Austin/Dallas/wherever, but if you are native to West Texas, the difference is very noticeable.

They're just either acclimated--or they prefer a more humid climate.

Highest point in Texas is:

Quote:
Guadalupe Peak is the highest point in Texas,[1] with an elevation of 8,751 feet (2,667 m).[2] It is located in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, part of the Guadalupe Mountains range in southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. The mountain is about 90 miles (140 km) east of El Paso and about 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. It rises more than 3,000 feet (910 m) above the arid floor of the Chihuahuan Desert.

I would move to San Antonio for my best climate because I prefer humidity with my heat.I ruled out the coast because of Hurricanes.
