No.
This comes up a lot, people understandably think Wacko Lib Austin PROPER is the same thing as its surrounding communities are.
Actually, lots of FReepers in that area. Beyond the city limits of Austin, in small towns, suburbs and exurbs there are plenty of common sense conservative, ordinary Texas folk.
Pick your spot so that you will be surrounded mainly by such people, and I predict you will NOT regret moving to Texas OR to that area.
Downtown Dallas is every bit as lib as Austin.
