A Guide to Working and Living in Texas
Austin, Dallas, and Houston are three of the most popular cities for expats relocating to Texas, and it’s easy to see why. Known for its friendly atmosphere, vibrant culture, and sunny climate, Texas offers an appealing lifestyle that attracts people from all around the globe.
Working in Texas
Texas boasts a strong and diverse job market with opportunities in numerous sectors. While historically known for oil, gas, and energy industries, Texas has significantly diversified its economy. Austin has become a major technology hub, attracting numerous startups and established tech giants alike, while Dallas and Houston are thriving in finance, healthcare, aerospace, and manufacturing. Texas provides a compelling mix of professional opportunity, economic growth, and famously relaxed and welcoming workplaces.
Finding a Home in Texas
Texas real estate is generally more affordable than many other states in the U.S, but property values can vary widely depending on the city and neighbourhood you choose. When purchasing a home in Texas, it’s advisable to engage a local estate agent who understands the property market in your chosen area.
Once you’ve found your ideal home, you can start to plan move-in dates and start arranging your move with Williams & Yates.
Cost of Living
The cost of living in Texas is generally below the national average, making it an attractive location for many expats and Americans alike. Housing costs, both for renting and buying, are typically lower compared to states like California and New York.
Everyday essentials such as groceries are also generally affordable, although prices can vary slightly by city, with metropolitan areas like Austin and Dallas tending to be somewhat more expensive. Utilities in Texas often fall below or align closely with national averages.

Texas offers a wide range of educational opportunities, including highly respected public and private schools, as well as prestigious universities such as the University of Texas at Austin, Rice University, and Texas A&M.
Transportation and Infrastructure
Texas is well-connected by extensive highway systems and multiple international airports, including Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. Public transport options are available in larger cities, with Dallas, Houston, and Austin offering buses and light rail systems, although owning a car is highly recommended for convenience in this vast state.
