Possibly moving to East Texas

  I was just informed of an opening in the company my Step Father works for.  I am not and never have been a big fan of New England, but I'm here regardless.  On my 30th birthday this past Monday, I was broached with the idea.  I'm really thinking about taking him up on the job.  $20 an hour to start in either the Tyler or Dallas area, depending on which is available come the end of the year.  If I move down and become a Texian by residence, whom I wonder would I live near?  I know the JoeBob's are down in the area, but who else.
