Shawn...not sure what your budget is for land and house...but you should look at this website and put in your acre range and price range for various Texas Counties you have interest in. You can cover a lot of ground searching the site at the link below.
For example this east Texas property has just over 16 acres, a pond, pretty decent house, close to small public lake, and within 15 minutes of the world famous bass reservoir...Lake Fork. About 1.5 hours from Dallas entertainment, airports, professional sports, big hospitals and specialty doctors.

Texas usually ranks as "Tax Friendly"...but there are other states more tax friendly.
The chart below shows that Kiplinger states you will be moving from a "Not Tax Friendly State" to a "Tax Friendly State".
Just wanted you to not get property tax sticker shock and know that over-all Texas is a tax friendly state. Plus there are ways to get Ag exemptions or other exemptions like timber exemption or Texas wildlife management exemption on primarily rural properties that can lower your property taxes.
