REAL Stuff YOU Must Know Before Moving To Texas 

My family has been in Texas for many generations and from what I can tell Texas aint Texas because of the shape of the state it is Texas because of the people that call it home. So please keep Texas Texas it's a great place to live and raise your family!

I'm a native El Pasonan. I never realized we were so friendly until I moved to Memphis, TN. I'm back in El Paso and now I do appreciate and realize that yes we are very friendly and courteous for the most part. I think we are even more friendly and welcoming to people moving to Texas. Thank you for sharing your video.

I moved to Texas from New York, Odessa, Midland, then Lubbock. I miss the beauty of The Hudson Valley, but, I love the easy, friendly living here.

This has been one of the best videos I have seen. Excited to move there!

Thank you for all the websites very helpful

I really appreciated this video. I am thinking of relocating to Texas from Kentucky and I'm trying to consider the pros and cons of doing such. Thanks for the information

If you are moving to Texas know that we may not have a state income tax here, but we pay high property taxes, high sales taxes, and have high user fees on just about everything. This state is tailor made for people who have money. But not so good for the working class.

Hello, thank you very much for this video. I enjoyed it. Stay safe

Thank you for posting Jeremy. This was super useful.

This was so helpful. Thank you

This is a really really good video!

I was born and raised in Texas so I don't really have any of the problems he said🤣😂🤣

Good information for new movie in families

I’ve visited Texas many times because of my girlfriend’s father. I, a native Californian, was surprised with the unfettered kindness and hospitality I received from literally everyone I ever talked to. I can’t wait to live there, God’s country for sure.

The heat is obvious, but most people underestimate the winters. We don’t get snow however we *do* get freezing temperatures. If it rains, then it freezes instantly and becomes a thick layer of ice over the ground making it impossible to drive or walk.

We Texans are friendly but we definitely don't want so many people moving here

This is why I love Jeremy's videos thanks for all the information I am on the way!!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I found very useful.

I'm planning to return to my home soon town in TX. You nailed the "must-know" items pretty well. The cultural aspect is very important-get use to it, or go back to CA, WA, or NY. The point no no state income tax vs high property tax is overlooked by most newcomers + very high utility costs for AC in the summer. Oh yeah, being hyper-political correct about everything is not such a big deal in TX so be prepared! I can't wait to get back.

“ I’m gonna put links down below” then just proceeds to not do it on any of his videos...and the ones you do aren’t labeled....like bruh what are you doing...soooo simple and easy to do and you just choose not to while saying that you did...I will say you do make good videos and you do have good advice...I’m a local born and raised here...but get that fixed home skillet

Excellent points, and entertaining as always!

The thing I noticed first was the drivers. They are aamzing

PAY ATTENTION!! This man is totally correct when he talks about the property taxes. I live in Missouri, and my home is also worth around 400,000$.... guess what I pay? 1,200$! Compared ot his 8,500$. So no state income tax is a bunch of smoke and mirrors, the state tax is the better way to go, you arne't punished for being a homeowner, you only pay more if you EARN more.

I’ve been thinking about moving there.

Great honest video.

Jeremy, how about taxes on retirees? Homestead exemptions to lighten the property tax load?

Our schools aren't that bad. We have a lot of Latino students that do not speak English. They take test in Spanish, but still don't do well. All of those scores are all added together. This makes our schools not look so good.

The anticipated high volume of election day turnout being a concern, they ask that Republicans vote on Tuesday and democrats on Wednesday. Thank you. Your cooperation is appreciated.

When you say $450,000 for a home in Austin compared to a California house at same price is the house much bigger, newer Ect ?

The Rio Grande Valley is excellent.

Don't California my Texas!!!

the only thing that stood out was "allergies": I lived in Houston for 8 months and had no problem. Up here in seattle, WA we have pollen and mold out the wazoo. Especially mold, if you have leather clothing in a poorly sealed closet [such as in a manufactured home], it can send you to the ER. I went twice and needed the intubator with no history of asthma problems.

Just don’t vote dem and turn the state you moved to, to the state you came form.

One thing to know about Texas is that when it is hot it really hot like hot hot but when it’s cold it can get freezing cold like ice cold we get black ice in my area every year

Looking at Austin, from Canada.

Great video. I just got an offer from a job in Texas today and accepted, I will be moving from Santa Barbara CA to Grand Prairie Tx!! Super excited and anxious. Any suggestions on where to live and don’t worry I was raised in Cali, but have never agreed with politics before I start getting bashed on. Appreciate the feedback thanks !

I wanna know about weather or not I have to check my boots for bugs before I put them on!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I are trying to put a plan together to move to Texas from Canada

How is the medical for seniors like El Paso.?

honest pp and like to tell stories to strangers , treat them like family. Small town community has a big influence in Texas. I am not originally from here. pp in Calif. need know about the ants, maybe?

NOT KIDDING WHERE DID YOU GET THAT J SHIRT ???

one thing he didn't mention under "culture." While Texas overall is very conservative, the main large cities (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas...) are pretty progressive, Austin especially. Also, don't think you are moving to a cultural wilderness. All the big cities have wonderful museums, orchestras, etc...local music scenes etc. And if your impression of Texas is based on old Dallas reruns, please update your stereotypes. And having done the move halfway across the country, I know there is a period of adjustment and this can cause some resistance and frustration, but as the guy says, don't come here and start lecturing us about how much better you did everything back in CA or NY ... Most people will politely sympathize and not get up in your face to argue the point (because bad manners are a sign of bad upraising. What would your momma say if she could see you acting rudely) but in the long run, it won't end well for you. People will just start avoiding your. Otherwise, Welcome! PS. Don't be worried about all the comments telling you to leave your California-isms behind (although that's not bad advice). As a fourth generation Texan, I know that most of these folks are only recent arrivals themselves.

So I have a question about front license plates. I understand they are required by law. But when I walk around parking lots I see so many cars without them. Is it one of those things that are not enforced or are people just willing to take that risk?

34th in education because we have to ESL a third of the state these days.

Great video and Kudos to you and your efforts to this channel!!! :)- Unfortunately people from California are completely IGNORANT to doing any kind of research when moving to Texas!!!! These individuals are comparing apples to oranges!!!! :)-

I bought land in. Marietta texas. How is it there.. cant wait to start a life down their

I'm late to the party on this video but I'm moving in about 2 months and I'm not sure where to move. Austin is too blue for me, I want to avoid big cities, but not ready for country living yet. Any suggestions?

Anyone thinking of moving to Texas better make sure they like hot weather because it is getting hotter here. 100 straight days of 95 to 105 degree weather is becoming the norm. You will need a very good air conditioning system and your electricity costs will probably be high, not to mention your high property taxes.

I am Texas born and raised (5th generation) and I don’t particularly like the outdoors! Not in to sports, either!

12.6% sales tax as well....Schools are by area. The high school where I live is in top 50 in the nation.

Have been looking at the Dallas/Ft. Worth area suburbs like Rockwall, Carrollton, Little Elm, Royse just to name a few. We are planning a possible move in a few years, my concern is that I have been seeing that most homes in Texas have a lot of foundation issues? How prevalent of a problem is it? Any tips on where to buy with less foundation issues or what to look for? Weather how bad is flooding/tornadoes? Would you consider the climate stable asking for health reasons? Thank you for your time - Have a wonderful day.

I’m scared now...

First thing how to deal with unfriendly people

TX is a Republican state and most people who move to TX come from a Democrat states, so please remember why you come to TX ok

no rust on vehicles there. can’t wait to get out of wisconsin. hopefully moving to elpaso or somewhere in northern texas

Don't forget about the bbq. Texas has the best bbq.

If your moving to the south of Texas like here in San Antonio you get a lot of Mexican culture as well as Texan.

I'm here in Cali. Moving to El Paso this upcoming summer. I hate California because of it's politics but ironically the family i have in Texas are all die hard politically correct progressive liberals. I hear not all Texas is that way. I sure hope so because I'm not voting for Beto O'Rourke.

Would an Irish person be welcomed?

where should you move? if you plan on voting red anywhere works you will love the people if you vote blue and want to change us to the place you fled away is the only place you should move.

They all move to Austin, and Austin is the least Texas part of Texas.

No state income works great if u live with your parents, a bum, live with roommates. Soon as you get a home of your own, you on the hook for high taxes if you buy a large home. Might wanna buy smaller home if you want to pay less taxes and think about location 🤔 Stay away from HOA

"Texas is one of the fastest growing cities?" LOL Thanks but as we Texans say "it's a whole other country!!"

Correction... its not Manshack.... Its "Menchaca", and yes we finally got that spelling fixed after these many years!

I understand that so people don’t want people to Austin because it’s crowded, I am a retired Army Solider and what better place to live than Texas.

Its all what you make of it

Texans are nice - people who move here from other places, aren’t!

Fun fact: “don’t mess with Texas” is an anti littering campaign slogan. If you throw somthing out of your car window there’s a good chance someone will throw it back in and cuss you out , while every other car cheers them on.

If I had my way you would have to be a native Texan or a native American like me to live here..!! If you and your family wasn't born here you're just a visitor in my book...! I agree with him on that don't brag where you came from..! It's our way or the highway..!! Especially if you're from Louisiana...!! Later brah..!

Not a chance

Allergic to _________

WARNING!!!!!!!!!! if you are wanting to move to Texas Don't you wont like it we are all very rude and it is very expensive our crime rate is horrible in fact i am being shot at right now and we have shootings, stabbing's ,not so peaceful riots and sirens all day and night, It's like op Iraq freedom here so as soon as I sell my house in flower mound I am moving somewhere safe like LA Cal or Portland so please stay in whatever state you are in even if you think it cant get any worse it can in fact millions of other Texans are also fleeing to live in good blue states like Cal, NY ,IL

Great infromaion, how is austin on interracial marriage?

I just came to say stay outa Texas, Alabama would love y’all tho

Byooda? No u

I dont see why the hype for Texas

your from austin im not so sure i trust your advice

As a conservative in Commiefornia, I need to flee. If i make it, I vow to become a Texan! Lately I've been ashamed of being from Cali. The only thing I may keep is my Dodgers.

Honestly the taxes in Texas is still quite high but not as high as California so I rather have like 3-4% than 7.25-10.25%

No.

My man said Texas is a city ..

the pronunciations are because a lot of the words are indian. waxahachie learn to pronounce that you will be fine.

You guys say SCURRED, not SCARED. LOL.
