If you love really bad traffic and people who drive like absolute morons it's the place to be. If you want to be where people think that all the history of the world begins and ends there you may just love Texas.  If you enjoy walking barefoot on grass that feels more like broken glass and nails you may fall in love with Texas.
Other than the above mentioned wonders of the modern world there's just not much. 
My last year in Texas the temperature hoovered around 115° F most days and the former governor prayed for rain despite the weather service telling everyone that it definitely was going to rain. Mostly it was unbearably dry and hot. 
When I got back to Ohio it was raining and people were complaining about the wonderfully mild and moist weather.. When I pointed out that every single plant in my front yard had died from lack of water that didn't matter. It was raining in Ohio and everyone was pissed off about it except for me..
Texas beef is WAYYYYYY overrated. It may surprise you to learn that beef can be transported by truck and even in Ohio you can get a pretty darn good steak. In fact cows can actually live and be raised in Ohio and the quality is roughly exactly the same if not actually better. Most cows in Ohio don't die from dehydration. Amazing, huh?

Again Dallas aint representative of true Texas.  It's a shythole.  If you're making you're judgement of Texas on the metroplex, then you don't know Texas.
