Texas sounds pretty Urban!
Some of it is. There are about 20 million people in Texas and almost half hive in the Houston metro. It's 832 miles from my house to El Paso.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Mostly along or east of the I35 corridor. At the same time far West Texas includes some of the most sparsely populated counties in the Lower 48.

Have you thought about Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Missouri?? Seriously. Less crowding, lots of lakes and forests, less goofball liberal transplants who wanna turn them into the same liberal schidthole they’re running from. Texas is getting ruined. Unable to relocate outta here, but I do like Oklahoma! Me too, and Oklahoma is prob’ly gonna stay a Red State longer. Yep! And they’ve got Indian Casinos! 🤠 Never been in one. Last place I want to go is a place full of damn people. Damn grocery store to too full of people for me! But I gotta do the shopping. Marshhawk, If you come here prepare yourself for over abundance of short fat brown fireplugs in spandex shopping and talking on the cell phone with 8 kids running scot-free thru the phuquing store. I here ya Bob ! One of the main reasons I don’t do Walmart. That and all the illegal meskins! The Casino’s are just full of blue haired old ladies playing slots, so you might actually like it. 😜

I lived in the panhandle back in the 70's. Good food in Dalhart and Amarillo. Some of the small towns in the panhandle are basically oil field towns, I lived in one and would not recommend it. The local population was ecstatic when the new fancy restaurant was coming to town - Denny's.
I didn't like Midland at all!!!
My son lives in San Angelo and my daughter live in Corpus Christi. I've pig hunted south of San Antonio.
Pig hunting is often close to free. Deer hunting or any game other than pigs and prairie dogs is expensive, in my opinion.
If I were moving back to Texas I'd look at somewhere around San Angelo or San Antonio.
I prefer classic.

Not much until you get past Spicewood Little Brother just built a big house on 13 acres on the road to Perdenales Falls State Park. Land cost a damned fortune. And too closed to Libertards for me.

I am from North Carolina. But in the past ten years I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles across Texas in the Big Rig. The more I see of Texas the more I like it.
I have a nice place here, I own 48 acres and a big custom made log cabin that I built. I don't want to move.
But if I did I would move to Texas.

I've been to Texas a few times. I have nothing against the place. But there's too many Californians moving into it these days.
Between the increased influx of illegals that the government is going to flood the country with and the expat Californians moving into the place, I strongly suspect that Texas is going to experience a significant cultural change over the next 2 decades.

I’ll take three Mexicans for every Yankee I get to send packing right now. And most people here I know would agree. Mexicans tend to work hard and do their own thing. They don’t care too much what you do and they damned sure don’t run around saying “But, this is how we do things in Mexico”.

South America is going to get flushed into the Southwestern U.S.

My childhood bud that passed two years ago, his widow is having issues with a new neighbor that just can’t seem to understand that he lives in the middle of ranch land and not a subdivision. This is maybe 15 miles north, north east of the falls if that far. A true phuggin moron.

I think I would feel more culturally attuned to some Central European people than I do Pacific Coasters. They're a peculiar bunch. I'm friends with a couple out there. (Washington) The wife is very conservative and she calls here talking about how bad it's gotten,...how her child is being indoctrinated by the school system. But her husband seems oblivious to what's going on around him. They have enough money to live anywhere they choose. But the husband won't leave the Seattle area. It's mind boggling to me. Literally, I wouldn't live where they do if someone *gave* me a house and paid all my expenses,....and they're paying a huge amount of money for a house in the Seattle suburbs.

Not to disparage any proud Texans but if it were me looking to retire to the South West. Arizona is more scenic, has public land to roam and is more varied in terrain and critters to hunt If you can get a tag. I was born in AZ and lived there till I was 19. Except for rabbits and doves, I hunted in NM.

I always liked San Angelo, but don't know how Kalifornicated it is these days. Nacogdoches and surrounds is good country too. Also like the country between Houston and San Antonio. Schulenburg, Flatonia, etc. Texas has something for everyone. I think many Texans would agree that a rope is what they have for Californians . . . Something for everyone except...................... Millions of acres of public land to recreate on??? Yep. That's the catch in TX.
