First and foremost, I'm not seeing anywhere but down going the Demonicrat route in Texas at this point in time. Texas is number ONE in many of the categories/buckets that are actually important. So what if we can't all be Hunter Biden on the street corner. That is small potatoes to the others.
Let me suggest the try-n-buy strategy for those clueless few. I suggest you move to NJ or maybe San Francisco for two years to get a taste of life of under a Beto-Blows-Chunks (BBC) regime. Then, pay the exit tax to leave them and see how your feelings feel. I mean, assuming you even survive the two years.
