We lived in Texas 3 times and have a son in Austin. Housing in general is much less expensive than California and no State income tax. However, make sure you check out the property tax. The last time we lived in Texas (Houston) we had a $500,000 house and paid 18,500 per year in property taxes.

Being the state capitol and home of University of Texas there is a lot to do. Our son graduated from UT and loves Austin, especially the music scene.
