Moving to Texas? Don’t Forget to Read This List of Pros & Cons

Texas state lies in the South Central portion of the United States of America. It is the fastest-growing state of the USA, well-known for its BBQ, live country music, hot temperature, NASA space centre, longhorn cattle, oil, gas, cowboy boots, wool production, nachos, chilli, and the Alamo.

Here’s a quick fact before we dive into the pros and cons of living in Texas: 36% of people living in Texas are non-English speakers. It is home to people speaking Chinese, Vietnamese, and Spanish.

If you want to relocate to Texas, you do not have to sweat it out. It has a temperate climate, affordable-to-your-pocket cost of living, a flourishing job market, and a lot to catch up on Instagram-worthy places.

Pros to bear in mind before moving to Texas:

• Taxes are lower than you would think.

One-third of our payscale goes to the world’s economy in the name of taxes. Sales tax in Texas is not high. Residents can gladly set up businesses or shop freely. There is no concept of personal income tax or state income tax there. Relocation to Texas will leave your pay scale for yourself.

• Give less to electricity.

The average commercial electricity rate in Texas is 7.8 cents per kilowatt-hour. The average residential electricity rate in Texas is 12.24 cents per kilowatt-hour. There are many service providers. You are free to choose and switch electricity providers in Texas. It might increase slightly in the hot summer months. But still more reasonable than any place.

• Artistic, diverse, and high on sports.

Texas worships art, diversity, and sports. Football frenzy is always on the cards when you are in Texas. Multiple languages and diverse cultures are welcome. It is a perfect abode for 150+ museums.

Cons to bear in mind before moving to Texas:

• Traffic is a serious issue.

If you lack patience, in particular, when stuck in traffic, Texas is probably not for you. If you live in the same area as you work, traffic will not disturb you. Otherwise, it is a real problem there.

• Are you scared of bats?

Texas is a sweet home to the largest known bat colony in North America. Some of the free-tailed bats migrate from central Mexico to the southwestern portion of the US. If you are afraid of bats, please reconsider (but so was Batman!).

• Scorching hot weather

If you can bear hotter than what’s normally hot, then Texas is for you. Temperatures in Texas rise to 37.7 degrees Celsius in summers. Some people can tolerate it; some cannot. If the summer is so hot, on the contrary, winters are not so cool. Temperatures fall to 10 to 20 degrees Celsius.
