texas can be a fun place to live. i was there in the '70s for a few years, then back to NJ. everytime (no kidding) i leave this state i always come back. now i have a family, so there won't be any more attempts. the next time i leave, it will be for good.
so, good luck, man. the climate down there is so much different than NJ. you'll quickly understand why people tint their cars - even 1/2 way down the windshield. oh, and it's legal, too.
