Mike Scantlebury asked Scott Semegran:

What's your advice to people who might be thinking of moving to Texas?

Scott Semegran Well, a concise answer depends on where in Texas you want to move. Texas is a very big, diverse state. I've lived mostly in San Antonio and now Austin, where I have lived for almost 30 years.

What I have encountered across the state is that most people are very friendly, so there is a welcoming quality you'll find statewide. There isn't a state income tax, making employment here very desirable. And housing is affordable in most places, although Austin is seeing a rise in housing costs due to its popularity.

I hope this helps. :)
