If this operation should relocate to Texas it wont be in the Dallas area. The processing plant must be within three hours of its suppliers pepper fields. So, this requirement would place the plant somewhere in or near the Rio Grande Valley area. Lots of land and labor down there and the jobs are needed, wanted, and would be appreciated for sure....
They're apparently looking at Denton, which is home to Tetrapak, Peterbilt, the University of North Texas, and Texas Women's University.

Really? I listened to Mark Davis interview the leader of the Texas recruiting team on the radio a couple of days ago and he was talking Rio Grande Valley/San Antonio area. He said (can’t recall his name, a Texas Legislator) that first hurdle is determining if soil, rain, temp, etc, are satisfactory for growing quality peppers that meets requirements. Second, criteria is finding a site location within three hours transport time from pepper fields. Not sure, but I “think” these requirements knocks North Texas out of consideration.
