You are dealing with a semi-desert climate. Snow is possible but not
all that frequent due to generally low precipitation. Annual
precipitation out there is something like 4 inches per year.

Totally depends on your preferences. Some people would consider it
too redneck.

In El Paso?!?! A MAJOR border town?!?! I was born there, kid. If you are
white, you are a big time minority. If you don't speak Spanglish or
Tex-Mex you are gonna need to learn it, if you move there. Don't get me
wrong, I love the hispanic/Mexican culture (especially the seņoritas &
food!) but that's what is in El Paso, Laredo, McAllen, Brownsville, Del
Rio...

City-boys out in the stix, sounds about like what they'd say.
I can't imagine there being more crime in El Paso than Houston.
Houston's criminals drive Tuners, El Paso's drive trucks. :>)
Houston is okay if you can handle pinetrees, hurricanes and humidity and
pavement. El Paso is the opposite.
