Downside to living in Texas

I was born and raised in Texas.  I have only ever lived outside of Texas for 6 months of my life.  I love Texas. 

I love the diversity of landscapes, climates, people, businesses, products. There is so much to love about Texas. 

HOWEVER, there is absolutely one thing I do not love about my precious state.

9 1/2 ' long, 22 rattles, 5" head, 3" fands...YEP, Texas does have a downside!
