We're friendly down here. Not always in a rush (although the highways around can get you killed) and we like to take things slow.

Sun for dayssssssssssssss. Sometimes too much. But hell, you can still walk around in shorts on some days in Feburary.

No income tax!! We do have a high sales tax rate (8.25 percent I think) but the tradeoff is the state doesn't tax your paycheck and you don't pay state taxes at the end of the year. Another part of the tradeoff is that they're pretty quick to give you a ticket around here...revenue

We got jobs. Dallas was named the best city to find a job recently. Alot of corporations have offices out here...Honeywell, IBM, Microsoft, Verizon, Nokia, AT&T, list goes on...

Cost of living! THings are a little cheaper around here and the dollar stretches. More for your money.

Guns! Lots of them!

It's Texas. Everyone knows this is the best state in the union.

I've noticed texans really are in love with thier state. My grandmother in law used to live in texas and she loved it. According to her, texas isn't just a state, it's a state of mind. I'd love to go visit TX and spend some time there. The only thing I may have trouble with is the beef BBQ. Us west carolinians have a hard enough time convincing the east carolinians how to BBQ right (they keep using vinigar bases and mops). The only way to eat some 'cue is smoked pork, pulled by hand and cooked with a dry drub and tomator based bbq sauce glaze. Texans I've noticed are all about the smoked beef brisket. And I bet most of you didn't even know the BBQ debate is still going on

Ehh, I'm just giving you a hard time about the cue. TX is one the states I wish to visit one day along with Alaska, and Hawaii.
