Well, I live in Texas and we've got lots of really good land and we've got some that's not quite so good.

Where are you talking about exactly?

I would suggest that you-

1.  Visit the land before you buy,
2.  Enlist the services of a qualified farm/ranch agent,

Before you buy.

You may be able to find the perfect land but not notice that it's 10 miles from power, water etc.

Lets hear more.

Now that I've looked at a few of these site, $1,000 per acre for 10 acres of rocks and scrub Mesquite seems kinda high to me for land way out in far West Texas.   There is not much going on in that part of Texas.  It takes a lot of land to support one horse or cow.

For the same $10,000 you should be able to get 2-3 acres of good fertile land that's only 30-45 min's away from Dallas/Fort Worth where there are still jobs available.  It's still pretty active in North Central Texas and you'd have a better chance of making a go at it there.

Do lots of research and talk to some local people before you contract to buy ANYWHERE!

That's pretty close to Mexico.

You'll get more responses if you post this question in the forums.

It would help if you said in that post:
  • why you want to move to Texas
  • which part of Texas you are looking at
  • what you want to do with the land (farming / building / strip mining etc)
