I have spent some time in TX for work (primarily DFW). I didn't have any real complaints aside from the heat in the summer.

Regarding gun laws, I doubt gun laws are any more laxed there than they are here. Probably just more people excersizing their right to carry. To carry a gun around legally in MN, it is a fairly easy process. Take a class for most of the day. Take a short shooting test which is easy to pass (I passed and never held a gun prior). You get a certificate at the end of the class which you use to get you get your permit. Submit an application at the sheriff's office and pay $100. In 30 days or less, you are able to legally carry a fire arm. There are no conceal laws in MN (likely not in TX either) which means you are not required to conceal it if you have a permit. I have completed the process in MN. If anyone is interested in knowing more about that part, you can PM me.
