After 47 years in the Peoples Republik, my wife and I fled to rural TX at the ages of 74 and 80 and regret only that we waited so long. We sold our two CA homes (Oceanside and Santa Rosa) for enough to buy two upscale homes in TX and have enough left over to generate all the property taxes on one of the new homes. No state income tax, Shall Issue (got mine as soon as 6 month residency requirement met) and an overall sense that we were with like-minded people here in Burnet County. There is a real and growing fear the escapees from CA will being CA politics with them, and unfortunately many do. As NRA/GOA "ever-Trumpers", we were welcomed with open arms by our Texas neighbors.
