Texas is a southern state known for it's conservative politics. It is not as free as New Hampshire.
Taxes
Texas has a 6.25% sales tax, and this applies to online purchases as well. Counties can apply an additional 2% sales tax, meaning that many parts of the state experience an 8.25% sales tax on all purchases. This is in stark contrast to New Hampshire, which has no sales taxes.
Like New Hampshire, Texas does not have a general income tax.
Politics
The cities dominate politics in Texas. Due to mass immigration from California, Texas has been headed in a blue direction for decades.
Weather
Texas is incredibly flat and incredibly hot. Temperatures above 100°F are incredibly common in the summer, with droughts and tornadoes in the central and western part of the state, and with hurricanes in the east.
