As with the Rio Grande valley down south, I think I speak better
Spanish than most of the locals. The pidgin they use is pure slop -
1/3 Spanish, 1/3 English and who the hell knows what the other third
is. I have to get 100 miles into Mexico to be able to hold a
conversation. My brother works at the prison near Pharr and refuses
to speak a word of Spanish, even at home with an Hispanic wife.

Nothing wrong with Houston except that it's THERE!

Re: OT texas help
El Paso is a border town and a major immigration zone. Many people come
across the border just to deliver babies (and become citizens), If she
speaks Spanish, that is a plus. Wages are generally low, but so is the cost
of living. Amarillo is more into agriculture and cattle (cliché Texas) and
farther north. A little snow in the winter and similar wages. It all
depends on her nursing specialty which I would pick. (I am a Nurse in San
Antonio) Remember, Texas is a big state and still a very long days drive
from Houston either way.
