i plan on staying in texas myself..but then again,if a situation presents it self where moveing to another state.and onto a property that i figure to be a better location compared to where im liveing now..then chances are i'll most n like go for it...where i live right now.might be on rental property n all.it's still a great location.on acount there's open feilds on each of the home.landlords have thier own gardens,in which i do get a lil of what they grow.it's a great area for hunting deer pigs and other wild life.and to top it off.im 6 miles out side of town.which means i can sit in my back yard and hunt..or see any unwelcome ppl comeing my way...
