I live in Austin Texas which is one of the hottest real estate markets in the county right now. According to Zillow.com the average home in Austin went up by over 20% last year alone. However you can still get a brand new five bedroom 3500 sq. ft home across from Dell computers corporate office for less than $230k. Houses are affordable and appreciating here so we are getting a lot of investors as well as people and companies relocating to Austin. Great schools, low crime and unemployment rates are an added bonus. Additional we are building the largest turnpike in county to accommodate all the growth. If you would like more detailed information please email me. I am a real estate agent and would love to help.

As mentioned above, it really does depend on the city / area. Housing in Texas is roughly just less than half what it would cost in California. However, here is one thing that is constant throughout the state - it will cost you between $1500 and $2000 a month to cool that 6800 sqft house (in the summer) and probably $1000 in property taxes plus $350 or so for insurance. So you are effectively in for around $2000 - $3000 a month before you even think about paying your mortgage.
I have nothing against Texas, and lived in Dallas for 10 years. Texas real estate is cheap for a reason though...

Everything is relative. If you are trying to compare 6800 sq ft in downtown LA to 6800 in Paris TX, well TX is going to look cheap.
Where are you comparing (cities?)
What are you comparing ( new construction vs resale)
A house that I would like in Grapevine (north Dallas) would be about $1,500,000.
