The Texas population is almost purple, but the Texas legislature isn't close to purple. Thanks to the legislature's ability to choose their voters (gerrymandering) that's not a situation that's going to change any time soon. Add in the voter suppression laws they've also recently passed and you can be sure Texas is going to be Red for a good long time. On another note, I know people who were thinking about moving to Texas. They're not now. On the flip side I know people who moved to Austin in the past two years. They're now looking at leaving. One has already done so. This is where renting and working from home is a blessing - you can quickly change residence.
