8 years in Abilene (military and finishing college).
4 in Dallas.
Also for consulting purposes had an apartment or hotel room in Houston for about a year while living in Dallas. Eventually after the MBA, went to work for big iron company who moved me back to Ohio.
I’d consider Texas for the right deal but I am not exactly looking. The no-state tax thing adds up, and I had fun in Dallas. I was fortunate enough to get the kids out of there before they became Cowboys fans.
