This is a serious question. Does anyone on the board know Texas well. After last nights elections California has the highest taxes in the union. I am sick of this state and my wife and I want out. Can someone please help guide me on the places that are nice in Texas. I am serious about this so any advice would be great. I am looking to go on vaction there to see what texas has to offer

You need to check out the San Antonio/Austin/Fredericksburg area of Texas. They call it the Hill Country and it is absolutly gorgeous! I have family in F'burg and have been going down there all my life. Even Jessie James (West Coast Chopper fame) have sold all his stuff in Cali and moved to the Austin area and now operates Austin Speed Shop. That area is my favorite...I prefer the small town/country areas but have close access to the big city stuff to do and work...if that makes sense..

We need more great trucks in Texas! Yours would fit in fine...

[aggie91]

I have a question that I might have missed the answere to earlier in this build...

The truck came with the orange paint when you got it, correct? If so, have you done anything to the paint (except the door logo, which is OUTSTANDING!)?

FYI: Here is a link to Fredericksburg, TX web site...Great place...

Talk about highjacking a thread! I have to agree with the above! The central area of Texas, around Austin is incredible although Jessie James moved there only to stalk his ex-wife. I'm in the north Texas area in Fort Worth. A lot of businesses are moving to this area so it is really growing. I'd stay away from Houston and Dallas because of the size and congestion with the highways.
Yeah, they play politics a little different down here!

I now return you to your regularly programmed thread.

Man, I totally thought you were kidding over text this morning.

Gabby and I seriously looked into this 5 years ago. My family actually move to CA from TX in '78. Hands down, Austin is the spot. Young families, cool downtown.

Please go there and this will make it an easier sell to the wife to visit and maybe relocate someday.

I'm from Texas where everything is bigger & better. I've seen some comments about staying away from Houston because of the size & congestion, but with you coming from Cali I'm sure you're already used to that. Houston has everything you can think of to offer. Car scene, truck scene, nice restaurants, excellent schools, night life, jobs, weather, the Texans, Rockets, & even though they suck right now; the Astros. We have 2 of the nicest areas in the country with the Woodlands & Pearland. Both are right on the outskirts of Houston. Houston is so big that it's hard to say what's inside the city limits. Anyway, both of these areas have their own town squares if you don't wish to drive into Houston. I believe the Woodlands ranks in the top 3-5 areas in the country. www.thewoodlands.com & www.shadowcreekranch.net
Judging from your house you'd fit right in in either of these areas. Plus if you sell your house in Cali you'd be able to buy a house twice the size here in Houston. Whenever you come for vacation feel free to PM me & I'd gladly give you some great places to check out. I love my city & wouldn't want to live anywhere else man.

Houston Texas is getting pretty bad, I have lived here for 35 years and I am ready to go. We will be moving our family owned business because of tax issues and the influx of certain types of people. I will not leave the state, but Houston is out. With your type of Income you are probably going to get taxed to death anywhere you go, under the Obama plan. Just like us.

Granbury is the name and the lake is nice. Between Ft. Worth and Granbury is the Pate Trasnportation Museum where the Pate swap meet was held for years until in moved to the TX Int'l Speedway. I lived in Ft. Worth for 22 years. Loved it. We moved to AR for family and scenery but may be relocatoing to the Mooresville area in NC.
Nice thing about Ft. Worth and to a lesser degree, Granbury is it's not too far fram Dallas where they have EVERYTHING you would ever want but you don't have to deal with their traffic.

Edit, Sorry, when I posted this I realized I missed a whole page and Mike had already given the info.

[prostreet1967]

i love texas, by looking at pics you are going to be looking for a high end house. granbury is actually about 30 minutes south of fort worth. Aledo is west of fort worth bout 10 min. alot of very nice houses. cost of living is alot cheaper from what i hear. and gas prices are $3.05 a gallon for regular. feel free to pm me if you have any questions about a area near fort worth.

[67cheby]

Granbury, that is right ! my wife is from Texas and i always tell her if i ever moved there Granbury would be my choice !

[big_al_71]

Eric move to south florida plenty of amazing homes, great weather, no income tax...The only thing that kind of sucks in comparison to other southern states is the car culture not quite as big as in California, Arizona or Texas.

[67cheby]

Awesome

[superflysteiny]
