4. Strong economy.

I agree with all of the above.
Their’s about three months weather wise that I don’t want to be in TX. Their’s five to eight months like this year where I don’t want to be here in the dripping cold weather of the Northwest.
TX people are a proud and industrious kind of people that think much the same way as I do. Just as soon as I ride over border on my motorcycle or the landing gear on the airplane touches the runway in TX, I get this overwhelming feeling that I’m safe and back home again.
So so the search is on for a bicycle friendly college town in TX to retire in for this old toad.
