Austin is okay but I would never live there; it's just a little off base.  Houston is just too freakin huge for my taste. I lived there for a couple of months and it just wasn't my speed. I've never been to the DFW so I can't weigh in on the metroplex.
I'm a San Antonio gal. To me, SA still has that small-town feel. With it being the beginning of the Hill country, it's location is also perfect. It's 2 hours north of Corpus, an hour south of Austin, and only a 3 hour drive from Houston. The weather is perfect. There's tons to do. You have all the sports, museums, shopping, theme park, golfing, etc. If you're interested in continuing your education, there are 4 private universities and 1 public.

I have lived in Dallas, Fort Worth, the Mid-Cities and Tyler (not necessarily in that order). I have routinely visited Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Lubbuck, El Paso, New Braunfels and Longview.
My suggestion would be Fort Worth. Refer to my review of FW several posts above. It can give the big city feel of the metroplex when you want that (4 professional sports teams, concerts, shopping, etc), but has that tight-knit feeling of a small town. You can go out to bars. restaurants, etc, and always run into someone that you know.

I'm biased toward living in San Antonio, but I love San Marcos too. Dallas, while fun to visit, is a little too large and impersonal for me

I grew up in San Antonio-couldn't wait to get out. I have visited Houston and Dallas/Ft Worth-no thanks. Austin is perfect-not too big not too small, beautiful hill country, love the lake. I also feel safe here, I did not feel safe in SA or Houston.

I'm really jealous. If I could get a job coaching in or around Austin I'd take it in a heartbeat. Some jobs in Pflugerville came open this spring, but it wasn't the right time for me. If you hear of anyone needing a HS Biology teacher and football coach, you let me know
BTW send me good thoughts today, I'm dissecting with HS freshman....this should be an experience.
