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.

Policing

Texas is known for fairly strict law enforcement. The culture is very much "Back the Blue", with Texas being a large battlefield for the Drug War.

Booze

No alcohol purchases can be made on Sunday in Texas.

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.
