Considering relocating to Texas

I have moved to and lived in a few different states. One thing I do find pretty true, the "new" guy is always somewhat different, one way or another. People usually want the new guy to prove himself to them. Is he worthy of their time or consideration?
Missouri is called the "show me state" and that is darn true. I lived there 37 years. And true most everywhere. Will everyone approve of the new and different guy? No, That's just life. So what.
