    Being a Texan is more than just a geographical descriptor, but a way of life and an attitude towards life.

    I am the only one in our family that was born outside of the state of Texas! My father was at the time currently serving in the Air Force and was stationed outside of Denver at an airbase when I was born, then before I was even a year old he got new orders and ended up stationed outside of Austin, where we spent the next five years, before we moved to Houston and surrounding areas.

    I have lived and worked in several other states over the years, and many of them I did enjoy the state, and the people, but Texas is the only place that felt like home and where I wanted to live out my remaining years. I love Texas. I love just about all there is about Texas. It's my home. I love the culture, the history, the food, the music and the people. I love the Texas lifestyle.

    Moved here after I retired. Texas is now HOME. I refused to spend my hard earned retirement paying Maryland to screw me over and over and over! 60 years ago, the people in Maryland were friendly and conservative. NOW they are antagonistic and liberal to the point of LUNACY! As a small State, it was cheaper for NY liberals to buy Congress critters in Maryland than in NY.
    We NEED laws making it a felony to spend money across State lines to buy elections.

    Helped a friend move from Oregon to Texas in 2014. I got him to San Antonio and flew back to Portland after 2 days, quit my job there , packed my things and drove down myself. Here since and it was the best decision ever.
    Being a Texan was and is really close to the lifestyle I had in Romania, of self responsibility, self reliance on food and belief system.

    Like you, I was born in Colorado, because my dad was stationed at Fort Carson. He got out and came back home when I was a few months old. I even managed to live in Texas for 12 of the 21 years I was in the Navy. I don’t see myself ever residing anywhere else.

    I had an iron worker buddy come down in 81 when Houston was booming. He said he could get me in the apprenticeship. January 1 1982 was when I got off the plane. He had the dates wrong for the apprenticeship & I was running out of money fast. I walked into a fairly new Randall's & got on as an apprentice meat cutter.

    My buddy moved back the following year & got married. I went home for the wedding & returned. Texas was pretty much a free state in my young eyes, NFA, no income taxes, no bad habits with friends.

    My dad never said, but his best friend told me, he was happy to see I had brains enough to leave Illinois. While Houston has been good to me I need to GTFO, for someplace quiet.

    I'm a Texican born and bred. So many folks are moving to Texas that aren't like-minded like all y'all transplants. Today, folks moving to Texas are bringing their socialistic big government way of life/politics and thinning us independent conservatives out. Just look at Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and Houston, all liberal bastions and just sprawling like nobody's business. That's what we're all gonna end up having to deal with. Like that cat with its tail near the fan...won't be long now.
    Personal responsibility, equal opportunity, fiscally conservative, freedom and liberty, limited government, defend and enforce the constitution.
