We are from the GREAT STATE of TEXAS as well. We moved to WA State in 2009, and love the area we are in, but now we are planning to move back to Texas. We moved here from the League City area, which is between Houston and Galveston. We don't want to move back to that area because of the humidity, hurricanes, flooding, mosquitoes and TRAFFIC. So - I'm spending a lot of time researching and looking online at areas that don't have that. Central Texas and the Hill Country is basically where my focus has been. Suggestions welcome and I'll look! Feel free to send me a PM...
