Hello All

I am a Cali Native. I live in the OC. I am looking to get out of here only because I am tired of drownding. I work for bills.. I live stressful but know I shouldnt complain much because I am still truly blessed. However I am TIRED... I rent here and it kills.. I will be coming into some money soon, not alot but enough to buy me a little home in Texas. NOTHING I could buy here. I thought of just staying here and just having "fun" with the money but that makes my stomach churn. I seriously cant afford even a condo here if I wanted to. I was looking online at homes in Texas and was overwhelemed with the prices.. the weather in TX will take ALOT to get used to... However its live struggling in nice weather or live "free'er" in heat? Is there a place where it is less hot then other places in Texas? Also looking for good schools and some type of economy (job wise)... Thanks everyone.....

Basically, the farther west you go in Texas, the less humidity there will be, which makes a difference. For example, while the temperature can be in the 90's or triple digits in Lubbock, Midland, or El Paso, it often feels like it's a few degrees lower than the actual temp.

It does get colder in winter in those places (and most of the state) than Orange County, however. I left out Amarillo since it might get too cold(?).

As far as economies go, Midland has a lot of oil, so it's booming, of course. Lubbock has a thriving medical industry and cotton prices are very high, so it is seeing a rebound. El Paso has had an uptick in military construction and expansion.

You should be able to find good schools in all three places, I think.
