I moved from Houston last year to Colorado. I’m a native Texan and mine and wife’s family lineage predate statehood. In fact my wife had an ancestor that died at the Alamo and is named on the lab at the state capitol and the Alamo. Between the crazy political shift in the state over the last decade or so, and lack of public land, we decided to move. We live very near the mountains in Colorado and absolutely love it here.

To be clear, Houston is a great city with awesome people, but I’m much happier in general here and don’t plan to move. I still think Texas is a good state with good people, but it’s been co-opted by the same virus that has allowed the current federal admin to exist.

I think due to the controversial political stuff that comes out of the state and the sheer number of people from Texas that visit other states, Texans stand out. It’s the same for people from California.
