I've lived in Houston, Texas area for about 1 1/2 years now. I am not from this area originally so I am not biased one way or the other.
A couple of the tougher things about living here: summer is constantly hot, almost always 90 degrees F or above with high humidity, from May until September, and many mosquitoes. Also, most of the ants are of the biting kind, but they can be avoided quite easily.
Nice things: reasonable home prices, friendly people who aren't afraid to say hello when they don't know you, lots of green (trees, etc), low gas prices, high growth economy that never hit the recession, very diverse culturally. Much more nice than bad!
I don't have enough knowledge or experience to know the best cities to live in, though I've been told that Austin is one of the best. I like it here on the north side of Houston.
Must-do in Texas: not sure what you like to do but there are certainly a few historical things like the Alamo, which can be a bit disappoining when you first see it but it's very historical. There are the typical museums, etc that you'll find in most large cities. There are a few cool caverns in the San Antonio area and also the second-largest canyon in the United States up in the north.
Hopefully, others will give you more info.
