Texas is the second largest state in the United States and the most distinguishing feature is the dramatic variation of urban lifestyles to rural areas and the variety of smaller cities in between the two extremes. The state also has a varied climate ranging from the extremely dry western portion of the state to the wetter gulf coast.
Older adults wanting to leave behind long cold winters and wanting hotter summers find Texas very attractive. Some medium size cities also offer lower cost of living and attractive housing costs. The state has a strong economic base of energy, business and service industries.
