>Neither Houston nor Dallas are seen as tech hubs
Dallas isn't a tech hub? It's called the "Silicon Prairie". There's more tech jobs in Dallas than there are in Austin. TI? TI's headquarters are Dallas. IBM, Oracle, McAfee, HP, Intuit, Microsoft, Match.com, Nokia, RIM, Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, Cisco, EMC, vmware....
Amazon has a substantial AWS office in Dallas as well.
>Austin is the fastest growing major city in the U.S
And Dallas is just behind them, 3rd fastest.
It could very well be Austin, but Dallas is actually a bigger tech hub than Austin is.
