Texas also rocks unemployment, the % and absolute # of population in poverty or illiterate, the number of people with untreated medical conditions, property crime, violent crime, and racial crimes.

Let's not even get started on the corruption of its judicial system. We know without a doubt they executed an innocent man. They lead the nation in executions, and its suspected that more than half of Texas' death row inmates are innocent of the underlying crimes. They have more drug seizure corridors than any other state in the nation. If you're not white, the police will harass you.

Texas is great if you are white, wealthy, and in the oil business, or if you live in Austin. And it's horrible otherwise.

You have the wrong opinion of Texas by the way.

California has the highest poverty rate in the US: http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21590933-america...

leading cause of death in TX is capital punishment amirite? Seriously though, can we all make ridiculous blanket statements, or are you the only one? Where in Texas do you live?
