Gasoline prices are low. An average is $1.90 per gallon. It's a safe state to live in. A person can make a decent living here. The average starting pay at a refinery or chemical plant is over $20 an hour. There are dozens of fresh water fishing lakes, and several great saltwater places to fish. The big game hunting is awesome, and so is the bird hunting. It's just a good place to raise a family. I love Texas.
