Texas, thanks to cities like Houston and Dallas and new tech centers like Austin, is among the best places in the country to launch a new company. The Texas economy is one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the United States. According to the tax business climate, Texas ranks 10th in the country. Texas offers a friendly business environment and unlimited opportunities for business people starting the business.
