Thanks guys, as always Texas HTF pulls through. I'm sure if I get through more of the selection process I'll have a lot more questions. We are somewhat divided on country vs. City life. But living close to the city would be ideal. I commute an hour now, so this will be less. Hopefully (God willing) it'll happen and I can add to the awesomeness of Texas.
P.s. I'll be bringing a few tax stamps with me. |

If you are working in Greenville, Rockwall or Rockwall County should be a consideration. Twenty minutes from Greenville and thirty minutes from downtown Dallas. Perfect.

I'll look into Rockwall. I just have to be within 70 miles of Greenville, but I also want some awesome schools and good social life. |

Royce City is nice and growing. Rockwall is very nice, but a little farther from Greenville. I know you said that you'd like to avoid small towns, but Sulphur Springs, east of Greenville, is a very nice small town. We live in the Miller Grove area...we have our own range. Shoot me a message when you move to the area. |

Rockwall looks awesome. We will definitely be looking around there if this job works out. Thanks for the heads up! (Looks like I'm gonna need a boat)

Caddo Mills They have one of the top 5 school districts in Texas. My wife is a teacher and going by their payscale, she would lose about $20k a year by becoming a teacher there. That doesn't mean they aren't good, they just don't pay as much. I'm getting excited about what all the are NE of Dallas has to offer. Seems as though we couldn't go wrong living just about anywhere out that way. |

Rockwall county is nice, but it's growing fast and getting silly. Why not live near Greenville? Shorter commute and probably cheaper houses and insurance.

Pistolpete, I'll keep you in mind. I'm sure we will rent off the bat, then learn the area and make sure the location is where we need before buying a house. As for the commute, it isn't a daily drive. Once or twice a week, most of thr job entails driving to all the communities within an hour of Greenville as strumming up business.

Well, after moving all week into our new house in Bentonville Ar. I got a call to come down and interview for the job in Greenville. So, tomorrow I'll be driving down to Dallas to sit in front of the interviewing panel. Wish me luck!
