What is the opinion of people living in other cities.
 
Please be specific about the areas of Houston and Dallas. These r huge cities and there r undesirable areasin each of these cities. You have to consider the location of your work, distance from airport (if u frequently travelling), etc.
Austin is smaller than Houston and Dallas. It is very nice city with a good mix of liberal and conservatism. It has an educated community and a good strength of acadamicians. The traffic is not bad and crime rates r notbad for even the worst of the areas. The schools are good. Envrionmental beauty is good.
Personally, I think Dallas maybe less polluted than Houston.
Both Dallas and Houston are hubs for big airlines, Dallas for AA and Houston for Continental. Although, Austin has a strong SW and AA presence. Schools r good in Dallas and Houston if you stay in the privileged and mid to upper middle class areas. Please dont use my assesment as the final word since I do not have direct experience with the school system.
My ratings in descending order of preference: Austin, San Antonio, Fort worth, Dallas and suburbs and Houston.
Employment market order (high to low): Houston, Dallas and suburbs, Austin & FW, SA.
Housing cost (low to high) SA, FW, Dallas suburbs, Houston suburbs, Austin, Dallas, Houston.
Education: Austin, Dallas suburbs (like Irving).....dallas/ houston...

Ofcourse, if you are ffrom the subcontinent and survive on similar company, Dallas or Houston will provide that better than the other cities.
 
If I were choosing, I'd go with Austin and Dallas (in that order). Not too crazy about Houston.
 
Texas is Texas, u gotta love it, wherever you live, its economical, negligible taxes, and maximum salaries (in comparison to living costs). Austin, Dallas, Beaumont, El Paso, wherever you see, you'll love to build a house there. One of strongest recommended places to move in. Its where I live, Texas, where you never have to pay, much taxes.
