Harlingen Texas is a good place to get a job.  The employment is very good paying and the housing is cheap.  The tax structure in Texas is quite good as well.  If you are fed up with the high taxes in California then Texas may be a good home for you.  I travel through Texas and see nothing for miles and miles.  The state is huge.  There is room for you there.  If you like the wide open spaces the Texas is the place to be.  Joe Olujic lives Harlingen and can speak to its virtues. So give Texas a try.  The Cowboys are due to win someday.
