Possible cons are: rattlesnakes, occasional hurricanes, and I hate large bugs. - yes I'm the guy who jumps when I see a 1" centipede. :y:
This actually would make me feel more comfortable.
The reason(s) my wife and I were looking at Texas were: good economy, low cost of living, home prices that are 1/4 what they are here, mild winters, and OPEN SPACES.

I'm a purebred Texan. - I'm a mid atlantic transplant, so some outside perspective on your comments.
Rattlesnakes, never seen em' - You don't get out enough. Besides the Cottonmouths are way more of a problem.
Hurricanes, If you live anywhere but near the coast, no threat there. Never been 'Katrinad' never will. Every winter there will be a tornado warning with people scared upon the usual thunderstorm, however it usually never happens. - Missed us by 6 miles on Dec 26th. Been within two miles of another one since getting here 8 years ago. The weather here will make you rethink what the bounds of "normal weather" is. Trust me when I say 40+ straight days of 100+ IN A ROW takes some getting use to.
Large bugs? Our bugs are the same size as any bug in the U.S. - Absolutely false. The bugs here are insane in scale, and prolific in number. However, it is the tiny little red ants that are the miserable ones...evil buggers.
Uh... then I won't mention the size of the roaches. Or that said roaches can remain airborne.
I wasn't going to mention the flying roaches! I've seen flying swarms of them. They are substantially sized bugs. I'm not squeamish at all. But I have seen kids freak out in a cloud of flying roaches.
Yep, roaches the size of your fist. Attic rats like rottweilers. Fire ants that will wreck your yard and make you say very bad words at a very high volume in public ! :wink:
Don't forget cricket season!

Oh my, like a Biblical plague !
You guys have to remember he'd be coming from CT. Anything would be an improvement!!!
OK, lets see if there are some old school Texans here. If I was "going to the ice house to get a soda water" what would I be doing? queue final Jeopardy music.
Wrong Tim but you are going somewhere to get a beverage, just exactly where and what kind of beverage?You'd be headed to the liquor store to pick up beer.

This was a common phrase for natives back in the 60's and 70's. I think it went away around the 80's cause we got tired of
telling all the new Yankee immigrants what it meant.
