Is it worth moving to Texas?

If you're tired of paying state income taxes, then yes.

Not only is Texas one of the most tax-friendly states in the U.S. because there's no state income tax, it also offers a lower cost of living with tons of exciting and affordable cities to choose from. The perfect destination for entrepreneurs and business owners alike, Texas is one of the fastest growing states in the entire nation. Industry giants like Google and Apple have already moved to Texas and helped Austin rank as one of the top 10 growing economies by Forbes. With more space to roam and fewer congested freeways, it's no surprise Texas is one of the most popular destinations for Californians who are ready to a change of scenery!
