As more people move there, I don't doubt the county is going to start turning purple.

It's a trend. In 2016, Fort Bend County went for a Democrat for the first time in 52 years.

Wow. I want to move to Texas for Texas and not for Chicago. What's next Oklahoma?

The rural areas of Texas of course, lean very conservative. Areas near universities lean more liberal. Collin Collin County, north of Dallas used to be overwhelmingly red. As more educated, affluent people are moving there, it's much less red than it used to be. I guess it depends on what you mean by conservative. There are many types.

Not Highland Park or Westlake though, just Alamo Heights

Boerne
Bulverde
Bandera
Even New Braunfels would all be good choices.
Even Hollywood Park or up north around there. (Stone Oak?)
I might try to live in one of these places (probably not Stone Oak) and eventually try to move north into the hill country (if I could find a job in one of those small towns).
Would like to live in Mason or if I could afford it Fredericksburg.
I still like Alamo Heights, though, it is conservative enough. The real problem is the nearby crime.

Oklahoma is the logical place to move to if Texas is ever too liberal

Highland Park is is full of old money one percenters. Aside from the top and bottom 1-5%, everyone knows liberals are generally more affluent and educated than conservatives. It's just a fact. I think it's a moot point since our OP is now considering Oklahoma.

@TheNewTexan I said Oklahoma as a surprising point/joke. Im definitely going to Texas but leaning Dallas suburbs. Im visiting both in two weeks. Seeing San Antonio for a couple days and then going to Dallas. But yes, conservative areas are a must for me. I plan on visiting 2-3 more times this summer.

Highland Park is extremely conservative.

And Alamo Heights is at least 75-80%
