One huge reason why I chose to leave my home state of Wisconsin for Texas was and remains my love of the history, here. It is so rich in so may ways and on so many levels. Stephen F. Austin passed away from pneumonia at the early age of 42, just 17 miles from my home.
Another reason was that Texas put me a nice round 1,200 miles away from my ex-wife.

And you’re welcome here in Texas neighbor!
Unlike George Strait who hangs his hat in Tennessee because all his exes live in Texas.
