I only know of the CC in Grand Prairie and I've heard there is a new one down in Mansfield(?).

I live in a suburb of Houston on the north side. Have been in the Houston area my entire adult life and love it. Depending on where you move, since Houston is the 4th largest city in the US, I might be able to offer info.

Default Texas bound!!
We are moving to Texas the end of January. We will be in east Texas (Tyler area) for the first few months and then we will be in the Dallas area. Can anyone suggest a good area to live near the Dallas area. My husband will work in Dallas. I know it is near Arlington. We will need to find a house to rent when we get there. Any help on the areas surrounding would be great!!!

We are moving to Fort Worth in 2 weeks.

Anyone familiar with Westside Association of Christian Home Educators?

How about SouthCliff Baptist Church?

If you do, can you PM me with what you like or dislike about them?

Default Possibly relocating to Austin
Hi, ladies! I'm in the gray and drizzly Northwest (about half an hour east of Seattle, actually), and it looks like there's a better-than-average chance we'll be moving to Austin within the next year, for several reasons.

Does anyone have any advice on... really anything about living and homeschooling in Austin? If we do this, we're going to have to find a whole new set of friends for the kids. I haven't done a co-op up here, because I haven't found it necessary, but maybe that would help them make some friends. Any suggestions for good co-ops? I don't mind a Christian-oriented one, but it would need to be one that doesn't require a statement of faith, because we're not Christian ourselves. And who among you has opinions about the different neighborhoods within Austin itself? I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Nealy
