Yep, Texans are known for watching too way too much TV. A bunch watched Yellowstone and decided to move to Montana. It's no different than back in the day after watching the Sopranos we all moved up to New Jersey and got into waste management.

Maybe they want a front row seat to the Yellowstone Caldera eruption? Who knows?

If this whole Texans migrating to the northern tier of the US West is true then my guess is as good as any. Right now though it is based on what the OP "heard".

I have no intention of moving to Texas (too hot for me) but am just asking out of curiosity.
Texas population continues to explode. Significantly more people move in compared to out. Having said that, Texas is huge so it makes sense that after Californians, Texans would be among the most likely transplants to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, etc.

This is probably it.

??? That's a bit confusing. San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the USA and still growing. What other "bigger cities" would San Antonio natives be moving to?

Not around here. All my neighbors are still locals, except for that VRBO just downhill, but the various folks renting it are generally quiet, so we don't notice them much. The VRBO owner is a Katy realtor (four hours away) who plans to build his dream retirement home on that site in a few more years.

Now over in those new developments, Californians are everywhere.

That's because the city population stat is relatively irrelevant. The metro population is what really defines the size of a city. The city of Miami technically has a population under 500k but in reality Miami is a much bigger city than San Antonio. Tampa and Orlando each have populations much lower than 500k but if San Antonio was in Florida it would only be the 4th most populated metro area in that state.

San Antonio is not that big of the city (err metro) but a large percentage of the residents live in the city limits rather than the suburbs which makes it seem bigger when you just look at city population rankings.

It depends on how we defined what a big city is. Someone from New York or LA wouldn't consider San Antonio that big of a city, but say someone from Montana or Wyoming or any state that has a small population will think San Antonio a major city.

Texans invaded Colorado and NM since the 1960s, displacing many FT residents who had to flea north and west. 50+ years later the epidemic spreads. Welcome to gated homes, communities, properties and minds.

You're gonna love it, and the "progress" it brings your community.
The neighbors you'll never know, but will always know they are there, and really proud of their accomplishment.

They really expect you to be enamored with them. Gag a maggot.
