I grew up in Dallas, have lived in other tech hubs, and I've been to Austin many times. When I came back to Texas, I came to Dallas.
Dallas as far as 'start-up numbers' go might not be ahead of Austin (it's really really close now), but the potential and growth rate in Dallas is crazy. It almost seems like everything is aligning to take Dallas to the next level as far as a global player in tech, business, and start-ups.
6 months ago I'd say it wasn't true either, but as of right now, I'd say yes. I just hired a few developers and it was magnitudes easier than it was 1.5 years ago.
