I'm from jersey, I know exactly how you feel.
Moved to Texas 15 years ago.
Best thing I ever done.
I wont ever live north of I-40 again.
Unless it's Las Vegas. -
I remember many weeks in Texas 100F and not a rain anywhere. It's not a problem when you adapt to it well.
Now if I want to remember how people complained how hot it was in Maryland... -

I grew up in Arkansas, the whole state has a population of 3 million, and West Texas seems sparse by comparison. You are going from one extreme to the other. An actual city in the South is probably a better bet FOR YOU (I understand that you have a lady you are taking into consideration). Most of West Texas there's just NOTHING there...Kingty9183 and austinmike Thank this. -

Go over to the oil field section in these forums and spend some time reading over there.
Theres stuff to know about midland/Odessa. Like it always stinks like really bad. I drove through there overnight and the smell woke my partner up from sleeping. Its really strong.
Its expensive to live there also because of theres so much oil field work going on. Its hard to find even a motel room sometimes. Bed bugs are a problem.
I used to work for the state and I have heard the stories. State employees dont like going down there because of all the growing pains. Its a rat race.
Some oil field companies will have an onsite dorm room you can sleep in. You could also do like a camper or something.
Youll figure it out I am sure with a bit of research and planning. Lots of people do it.Western flyer Thanks this. -
TravR1 Thanks this.

Looks like a quiet, laid back, little town.
