Anyone from Texas?

[Mallet]

I'm planning on moving down south (maybe texas) I'm either going out West (Alberta Canada) or heading down to Texas if I can get into the oil and gas industry...it's gonna be easy to drill in Alberta but the weather sucks for about 6 months so i'd rather head south and work...

Anybody have any info on the oil and gas industry in Texas or know of a good Head Hunter down that way let me know? the info would be greatly appreciated.

Also I'd like to move as close as possible to the Gulf, anyone know of some of the better cities or towns in Texas along the coastline?

Thanx again...

i live in sugarland right outside houston, nice little town and not to far from the big city(although its growing very fast, also its about a little more than an hour drive to galveston

I haven't been to a lot of the gulf cities, but I have some friends that grew up in Rockport-Fulton, and they seemed to like it. If you want something a little bigger, you might look into Texas City. check out www.texas-city-tx.org, and www.rockport-fulton.org

[allsaucedup]

im in houston bro if you can get used to the weather and the mosquitos you will be fine it is a pretty cool place to live

Im from Houston too (sugarland/missouri city area) and I love it. I dont live there anymore, but my parents do and I go visit a lot. I love Texas, the area that i grew up in was nice too.

Houston is the fattest city in America.

That does nothing to help you out, I know, but they must have some good food or really lazy ass people.

Texas City is a great place to work in the oil industry, its that or east Texas.

Yea, that's why I moved LOL. THere are a lot of fat ppl there. I honestly think it is because of all the donut shops in Houston. THere is literally one on every street corner. Where I live now, i would have to look in th phone book to find a dammn donut shop.

Galveston is just dirty. Not the best beach.

I agree, the ocean there looks more liek lake water. ANd the sand is a dark color. DIrty indeed, lots of plants and such, there's a couple ahrdcore gyms there though.

The humidity is pretty heavy most of the year....houston at least, I mean, it is right there next to the gulf. It is probably only cold for about 3-4 months though. It's hot or warm most of the year though. Those few months of cold arent anything unbearable for sure, and during some of those months, there will be a warm day in there every now and again, so its not solid cold all the time. I like the climate, i hate cold weather

I'm definately trying to avoid Alberta...i could start work there tommorrow, but i'd rather hold off and go South.

That's what i like to hear!...I've lived in the cold for 34 years now, i think my body will adjust to the warmer climate quite nicely Althoug i'm sweating hot all the time, even in the winter i don't own a winter coat, i just wear sweaters unless it's -20C theni'll put a coat on.

It's about 12deg C here right now and that's perfect, a little warmer will be even better...the last time i was in Texas was 16 years ago, i went in FEB and it was -12c here and when i got out of the airport in Dallas it was friggin beautiful out!

Yea, i was in houston visiting th efamily in november for thanksgiving and it was in the mid to high 70's....loved it b/c here in GA it was like 50. DUring easter it was around 70 ish too, but a cold front came in and it dropped to the 60's...i wouldnt exactly call that a cold front

[decadbal]

i am not

I would definately prefer BC over ALberta...It was really up to where ensign wanted to send me, my freind got a 1 month gig on a rig in BC (bastard) But now that it's break out season I'd have to wait until the end of summer to roughneck out that way, atleast that's what the headhunter told me...I find that hard to believe, but i'm sure they don't stop drilling in Texas.

I could live in those temps year round!
