Texas
Many out-of-state candidates ask about life in Texas. First off, people don't say y'all all the time, though it is pretty fun to say. Texas Pride is real but not in a pretentious way, and football is taken seriously-very seriously! The steaks are amazing, and if you like Mexican food, you'll be in heaven. Yes, you can drive for hours and still be in the same state, but Texas provides a variety of landscape between the northern and southern parts of the state; in Texas, you really can have it all.

Austin
The capitol of Texas ranks high on just about every Best Cities list, and the reasons abound; Austin features a rare combination of small town charm with big city benefits and is home to truly talented and friendly people. The city is an outdoor-lovers paradise but is just weird' enough to keep things interesting. Home to The University of Texas at Austin and a thriving high tech business community, our diverse population comes together in a devotion to artistic expression. On any night of the week, music fills the air in this Live Music Capital of the World and lends Austin a distinctively soulful atmosphere that Rackers love to call home.
