Dallas has a sizeable tech workforce, but they're primarily telecom/embedded engineers instead of the webapp engineers you'll find in SV. It also has a major international airport that's halfway between the two coasts of the US.

Dallas also has a sizable amount of really unsexy business process automation-type development jobs - it's the original home if both EDS and Perot Systems, for instance, and DXC and NTT DATA still have sizable facilities there.
Dallas isn't the #1 tech job location or anything, but there's a decent workforce and Amazon would be a fairly unique offering in the Dallas area.
