Considering relocating to Texas
You don’t need boots or a cowboy hat. I’ve lived in all the regions in Texas. I have never owned a cowboy hat.except as a kid I had a Lone Ranger outfit. I don’t think you find the community you are looking for in West Texas. Yeh it’s hot. But thank goodness they have AC here. You may see snow once every few years for about an hour. Good luck. I also think the OP is like a lot of here. Not big on social media and share a great hobby and finds value in each other’s opinion on this forum.
