Well it depends what area in texas you are going to live in. Im sure you will do fine none-the-less. If you don't mind, I also read a mention that you said about us having a lot of "conventions". And that is correct, we do have a ton. Gaming conventions, Anime conventions, etc etc. The big ones far as I know is San Japan at San Antonio and Realms-Con at Corpus Christi. We even got a Horror-Con thats getting pretty big from where I live.
