Let's not even get started on the corruption of its judicial system. We know without a doubt they executed an innocent man. They lead the nation in executions, and its suspected that more than half of Texas' death row inmates are innocent of the underlying crimes. They have more drug seizure corridors than any other state in the nation. If you're not white, the police will harass you.
Texas is great if you are white, wealthy, and in the oil business, or if you live in Austin. And it's horrible otherwise.
