I left Texas several years ago, and I don't plan on returning. I didn't realize just how much the weather there was reducing my quality of life until I moved. Almost overnight, I dropped 50 lbs and started spending a lot of time outside. Outdoor recreation is just not an option for most of the year in Texas. I can't see a thriving startup culture materializing in Texas if young people don't want to live there.
