Is Texas a good place to live?

I've heard so many stories of 6 fingered people, huge red mullets, 10 guns per house, George Bush, only being able to eat at McDonalds, big hats and girls with funny teeth.

Any truth to these rumours?

I'm not gonna sit here and say that if you drive an hour outside of houston/dallas/san antonio, you wont see rednecks, hunters, ranchers, country folk. I mean you will. But i've travelled enough to learn that nearly every state has their version of white trash and rednecks. We ofcourse are notorious for it, cuz texas has so much landmass with only 3 major cities.

However, when you live in the 4th largest city in the nation, and the person blabberin about texas is from no-name yankee town, you gotta wonder why he's talking.

Basically, we dont mind it, but What bothers us is when they categorize us "city folk" with it. Cuz its almost hypocrisy. Chances are the town they live in, is the size of our stadium, and what we would consider "small town folk".

I've been to Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and San Diego, and land wise, Houston dominates all of them.

also, with 15+ years of travelling, if ive learned anything, its that Houston has some of the best looking women in the nation. EVERY houstonian will vouch for that. Its just known that we have GOOD LOOKING women here. Outside the city, its up in the air.

But, other than the women, houston is a pretty boring city. Its very commercial, non-leisure.

Its true, but I don't think you'll catch any of those billies listening to trance music so we don't have to really worry about it.

I hate all the typical Texas stereotypes. No we do not all own guns or wear big hats or ride horses. As for rednecks you'll find them in areas outside of the big metropolitan cities in TX. For the most part the bigger cities in TX are quite multicultural IMO Houston has the largest variety of people. As for George Bush not everyone in TX supports that idiot and his redneck agenda.

yea there are mullets here and there along with mcdonalds in just about every town.. but then again.. mcdonalds is all over the place - i prefer sonic, wendys, and Jack in the box

according to my gf's mom we have some of the best mexican food restaurants which is very true

there are girls w/ funny teeth but that can be found anywhere..

I dunt no whut yew fellers r talkin bout. we is 'bout ****ry ass it guts. gut her dun! yeeeehaw.

i think the funny teeth are cute on some chicks

LMFAO Redneck Dave would be proud.

Texan women are the hottest women period. You'll also notice that most Texans are real 'down-to-earth', laid-back & friendly.

well I can mainly speak for houston...which is really diverse. however we are taking over... Af for rave scene or EDM support there isn't much.


I'd be careful going to some of those small towns were you get looked at crazy for not being white. There's a couple of them.

good thing I'm a man

After living in Amarillo and going to high School and coming back to San Antonio ..... Texas Deserves some of the stereotype but San Antonio is trying to Mulitcultural( SP). As for Dance Music ... DAllas and Austin are Miles better than San Antonio IMO.But I get picked on for taste of music Since I am A BIG HOUSE FAN!

i love Dallas, one of the best cities in the states imo.

It gets old but is completely understandable.

Tobias you might like Austin as long as you don't have allergies <--why I'm leaving and not because of rednecks as there are few if any.

It's a very cultured place with art galleries, great live music, and many colleges.


As stated above it’s unfair to lump most city-dwellers in with the others.

i've been living here in dallas for more than 2 years and i have no complains on the people that live here.
It all the contrary, people here in Texas are very nice.

I've lived in Texas since February and have enjoyed it. Though I've probably only actually been here about 6 months as I travel so much.

In Texas, the people are friendly, it's cheaper than other places I've lived, life is unstressful.

Your stories sound like they're from way out in the boonies. Every state has it's boonies--try hanging outside Fresno, CA, or anywhere but Vegas or Reno in Nevada.

After 8 days of constant rain in November, I went out of the country for the last 2 weeks. I got back today to...MORE RAIN. WTF???

Like everyone else said, an hour's drive outside the major cities and yes, that is true. But if you visit places in Houston like 3rd Ward, 5th Ward, Acres Homes, neighborhoods like that...better yet go ask the people there

Austin is the most expensive city in Texas to live. It's very stressful, but at the same time very relaxing and really easy to stray away from everyday problems. The country out here is unlike any in Texas and the rivers/lakes in the surrounding area are just amazing. Beautiful weather most of the year, even though it tends to get hot here and there. Nightlife is incredible and 6th street-4th street is legendary. People are 99% nice here, and everyone is open to everyone and everything. It's such a diverse city and a great one to live in. It honestly has changed my view on many things and for the better.

I've lived in 4 different cities in texas. Austin being one of them.

Theres never been an overabundance of gnarled teeth or ugly chicks. In fact its been quite the opposite.
The women have to be some of the hottest on the planet.
I dont know where the Mcdonalds thing came from, and I dont even know how to respond to that.

Rednecks will always be around, but in the larger towns their less abundant.

I like Dallas the most. Austin gives me eczema.

No, seriously.

I had to look that up.

eczema:
A noncontagious inflammation of the skin, characterized chiefly by redness, itching, and the outbreak of lesions that may discharge serous matter and become encrusted and scaly.

eczema .. that's just some weird shit..

Damn right it is . I'm feeling the rashes already.
