Which city or town in Texas has the best weather? Not too hot in the summer (low nineties and lower). Not too humid. Doesn't rain all the time. I am looking to move there from Chicago, but I don't want to be misserable. Is there such a place? Thank you!

Don't forget nice winter weather!

I've lived in Texas from the Pan Handle to Brownsville. And El Paso to Texarkana.
One thing that can be said about Texas weather. If you don't like the weather, just hang around it will change.
The Davis Mountain area sounds like part of what you want, but it does get a little warm in the summer, but the humidity is low. The coastline is great, but you have the humidity and sometimes severe storms with flooding. Occasionally a hurricane.
McAllen to Harlingen is nice, but it can get a little warm in the summer. Lots of Snowbirds in the winter months. South Padre Island is great if you like the beach, sand, sand spurs, and crowds during spring break.
Another great area is near Los Maples State Park. I can't remember the names of the towns that are close, but it is beautiful. Over near the Louisiana border is nice if you like pine trees and coon a--! Sorry, but that is what they are known as..
Plus they get enough rain, and humidity is a little high at times.
Dallas, through San Angelo to the Panhandle is good, but you have to get used to the severe weather in the spring. Tornado Alley you know.
El Paso and West Texas is beautiful, but kinda warm.
San Antonio and Austin are nice if you like big towns.
Del Rio to Eagle Pass, to Laredo are great too, but warm in the summer. (I remember one time in Eagle Pass the high temperature for 3 weeks was 120. Summer is always 100 everyday, but very dry.)
My recommendation: move to the US Virgin Islands!
You will be happy where ever you hang your hat!

Most of Texas' weather is extremely hot in the summer. To avoid humidity, Austin, Dallas, and El Paso are the best largest cities to go to. Austin is more laid back, kind of a liberal college town. It rains more there than in Dallas and El Paso so the weather is a bit more humid. Dallas is pretty dry, but the summers are killer. This winter has been the worst in awhile, but the temperatures are only 30+ (which isn't bad compared to other parts of the country). El Paso is really a desert, so not much humidity there at all. Winters are colder, but summers are pretty dry.

You get used to the heat after a while. I was born and raised in the DFW area and have spent the past couple year and a half down closer to Austin. The weather doesnt change to much when your just traveling down I-35. Also, we tend to have a differant perspective on "nice winter weather". My nice winter involves 80 degrees and sunny. Anything below 65 is a little too chilly for me. You have pretty much every land description availible in TX. Out west you got desert, Southeast you have the coastal area, The east side a lot of green, and Central is the home of Hill country.

Besitos....Weather should not be your main consideration when looking for a place to call home. I can name lots of places with nice weather like where I live in California. San Francisco has perfect weather (if there is such a thing) but you would have to put up with gays and lesbians, communists and liberals by the tractor load, earthquakes, crime, traffic... I am sure you get the point.... I, too, I am considering moving to TX for various reasons--housing for one, better place to raise a family, etc... Best of luck!

Unpredictable.......lol i don't know about finding a place low below the 90s in the summer if you do let me know. if you don't like rain don't move to the Houston Area or near the gulf coast period. Try North Texas(Dallas/Ft.Worth Area)... the people above are right but you can't really judge from that the weather is just so unpredictable here.

If you want to avoid the summer heat, which does tend to be fierce, then Amarillo is the place to go. Its located in the Texas Panhandle and its high altitude (its in the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains) moderates the summer weather.

Yeah, Amarillo would be your best bet if you don't like heat, but it will be a culture shock moving from Chicago.
