Why so many TX bashers? I don't live in TX, but I still like it. TX has some great cities, though personally, I think Houston sucks. People in TX are usually very friendly. I also have to admit that I am a UT fan... at least for football. That said, I wouldn't leave CA to live in TX, but it is a great place to visit.
Edit... I love the music. Pat Green, Cooder Graw, Kevin Fowler, Robert Earl Keen... too many to list. I like TX!
