Big city or smaller town guy? What kind of industry?
Big city - DFW - choose your poison - Fort Worth is more laid back big city. Dallas has the high end executives and fancy cars and high end woman. Then you have Irving, Las Colinas, Arlington, Coppel, Grapevine, et al. Frisco is basically a conservative way of life and literally has EVERYTHING! MCKinney, Allen, … But be prepared to pay the price. Or move out to one of the quickly enclosing propers - Weatherford, Aledo, Bridgeport, ..man I can go on and on.
I just think DFW offers everything big and small. And better weather than Houston or Texas south in general. West Texas is a desert. But if you have any experience in O&G then that’s the place to be right now. Don’t bother with South Texas lest you want to deal with the border fiasco. Nothing really going on down there anyway.
San Antonio is pretty cool to hang for a weekend and is growing fast but I’m not a big fan. Or move out to Boerne or Fredericksburg area if you like the small town, touristy type country life.
Someone needs to compile all these suggestions and write a book. This is some good stuff.
