## Key points

- Some California transplants are reconsidering Texas after Democratic wins.
- Oklahoma, Florida and Tennessee are among the alternatives they cite.
- Lower housing costs remain a key reason for moving to Texas.

## Summary

Some Californians who moved to Texas for lower living costs and conservative politics are considering relocating again after Democrats won the state’s Senate and governor races. Their plans point to how political change can affect people’s sense of whether a move has delivered the kind of home they wanted.

Marie Bailey, who runs a large Facebook group for Californians moving to Texas, said she is weighing Oklahoma or Florida; others mentioned Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia or returning to California. Group members voiced frustration and concern that Texas may not turn back to Republican control. A University of Texas researcher said California transplants tend to be moderate to conservative, while affordability remains a major reason for moving: a 2025 RAND analysis estimated multifamily housing costs more than 2.3 times as much to build in California as in Texas.
