TEXAS

W

Whether you live in a major metro area or in a small town, Texas is a great place to do business or build a home. The state is
one of the most business-friendly in the United States, with low taxes, a low cost of housing and a high quality of

education. Texas is home to the largest medical center and the #2 cancer center in the nation. Three of the most affordable
cities in the U.S. are located in Texas, four cities rank in the top ten big cities for home ownership and six of the largest cities

have a cost of living below the national average. Texas continues to reign as the nation's top ‘domestic migration destination’.
There are very few states that can match the State’s current job opportunities, growth and residential quality of life.
