Well, 'Houston' is already casting a fairly wide net - not quite Dallas, but it's still a pretty long drive.
I'm from Silsbee (and my permanent address remains there), and excluding the past couple of months lived there all my life. I'm currently in San Marcos (just outside of Austin) attending college, trying to work out my own issues. Dunno if that's quite what you're looking for, but rest assured you're not the only southeast Texas native with social anxiety.
