In general houses are a lot cheaper in Texas. In my neighborhood a 4bedroom, 2bath, ~1900sqft goes for about $150,000. I am about 6 miles from downtown.

It's definitely cheaper than SLC and Provo/Orem. Not to mention California.

Odessa is not a destination that one probably voluntarily chooses. So prices will be even lower in places like that.
Understood. Where is Odessa anyway?

I could be happy in Texas. I loved San Antonio when I was there for the Final Four in '98. I was impressed with the Dallas-Ft. Worth area when I went to a Rangers game in Arlington, but that was before the Ballpark was built. Houston seemed awfully humid, but nice. Never been to Austin but from what I've seen of it in the shows my wife watches on HGTV, it looks like a decent place.
