Although the HC is currently full, you can get on a waiting list to get in, providing you attend prayer meetings with the Rev. Jerry Falwell. (Just kidding.)

The HC really is getting crowded, at least by my standards. It has obviously been "discovered" as evidenced by your interest in moving to a place you've never even visited. But I think Texans by nature are reasonably courteous and welcoming. There is a spirit of independence which translates to a live and let live attitude, at least as I see it. This also applies to religious persuasion, or the lack thereof. I know a lot more people who don't attend church than who do.

And for what it's worth, one of my closest neighbors is a Canadian (and very religious).
