Considering relocating to Texas

My part of the world. Kerrville is about 25 miles from Fredericksburg. Very, long time Republican area dating back to the Civil War. Plenty of Dems, but not enough to dominate. Large numbers of folks identify as Independents. Cooperation, compromise and coexistence are very common.

Most common crimes are probably minor in possession, DUI, or non-violent property crimes. Occasional sweeps collect hard drug dealers. Murders are extremely rare. INS makes random raids.

If there is a Muslim community, it is very small.
