I myself would never relocate out of the state of Texas. I was born here, and barring some unforseen circumstances I will die here. I am a Texan (and dang proud of it :D). Thus I don`t quite understand your desire to leave, but I don`t have to. :)
One negative I see is being removed from family. I don`t know how old your parents/grand-parents are, but even if you don`t feel you need them (for support), they may need you for various reasons. My grand-parents have passed on, but as they grew older, I was glad to be able to drive 10-20 minutes across town to see them, and I would like to think that it was comforting to them as well. My parents are growing older as well, and I am glad to be here to help them with the things they need help with.
