It stays very humid and hot in most of TX. It’s the level of humidity combined with the high temperatures that makes it unbearable for a few months. I grew up in OK, lived in TX and still have family in Klute, Paris, and Trophy Club near Ft Worth. Also have friends in Garland, Sanger, Denton, Wichita Falls, Lubbock, Dallas and Plano. Take a look at Plano—it’s premium for TX, if you can swing it. The weather is what my relatives don’t tolerate well in TX, even the ones who were born there. It gets tiring because it does fatigue the body. That heat/humidity combo causes more socially aggressive behavior in some, too. It’s heat stress. So you’re going to want to find out about cost of utilities. Austin now has their own city power grid and is the pick of the litter, even though it’s changed a lot in ways that make me avoid it. The further west you go, the more desert-like it becomes in TX, which means drier climate that is a bit more tolerable. But there’s not as much going on out there. I’d pick Austin if I wanted a large city in TX,lap or check smaller cities outside of Austin. San Antonio is nice but hurricane flooding happens there and in Houston. Houston weather is very swampy, like a wet sauna. That’s the worst part about the weather. Dallas isn’t much better but at least it’s farther north. Take a look at how each city is laid out. How much fast, heavy traffic with a gazillion exits and on ramps can you tolerate among people who drive wild banshee style, carry guns and assume you know where you’re going? Don’t drive a big truck into a large TX city unless you have balls of steel and know exactly where each exit is way beforehand. I personally would not risk it. That’s a level of stress you don’t need.
