because it technically was?

Moved to Houston in 78, tons of out of state plates there until Mid-Late 80's during the oil boom. Once the boom went bust, no more out of State Plates. Means oil is getting ready to expand again and jobs are picking back up most likely.Anyone else notice an extremely unusual amount of out of state tags from all over? I've lived here (Houston area)all of my life and never seen anything like it. Just curious if you've seen it and have any conspiracy theory's?
Honestly, I just wanted to go to a state where it doesn't get below zero. Coupled with the low cost of living in Texas, seemed like a no-brainer. Up until 2013, I was living an hour south of the Canadian border in Northern Minnesota. Then, I moved to Minneapolis to pursue a career, but got tired of the pretentiousness of that area. Because of COVID, the company I worked for in Minnesota is letting me keep my job and work remote in the North Dallas area. But if that changes, this area also has an incredible job market for IT, as well.So, just out of pure interest, why Texas? I don't get out much, so this thread really is interesting to me.
I set up travel at the university I work at and the rental car companies run low or out of vehicles March and April.It is spring break maybe people are starting to travel a little more?
Hope not. But it's sad to not knowI believe its called an invasion.
If it wasn't so dang humid, it would be just abiut perfect here.Honestly, I just wanted to go to a state where it doesn't get below zero.

Although this year...of course Texas sees temps that are an everyday normal thing in the winter in Minnesota haha. Thankfully it was only a week long thing.
Nothing more to do here but laugh.....Funny how theres always two sides to every coin. And you should work on those unreasonably low speed limits.Lol itās funny because every plate I see in Colorado is from Texas, California, Arizona, Wyoming, NM. I drive all day and I canāt drive more than 20 seconds without seeing an out of town plate.
Really the real issue here is the Californians and weed. They left their shit hole state and went to all these other states and made Colorado expensive so all the transplants are moving away to a place thatās cheaper to live. I donāt know why Texans are moving here in droves but you all suck at driving FYI, the speed limit is not 100mph here.
I canāt figure this one out. Is it āCindy Magooā?Just checked with the state DOL, this plate is still available!
I agree, we have areas that are 55 on major highways. But even when itās 75, the Texans still do 100. So it just seems they donāt follow the signsNothing more to do here but laugh.....Funny how theres always two sides to every coin. And you should work on those unreasonably low speed limits.
You're coming to a good conclusion!I canāt figure this one out. Is it āCindy Magooā?
Dude what are we talking about?!You're coming to a good conclusion!
Egg on my face though as I thought it meant something completely different!
