When Chevron announced in June that it was moving out of its California headquarters and potentially bringing 2,000 employees to Houston, it was the latest in a growing list of corporate moves to Texas.

An industry analysis finds in 2021, 62 corporations relocated their headquarters to Texas from 17 states and three countries. Most went to Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth, but each made a move with the idea they were better off here.Chevron says the plan to shift most of its corporate efforts to the Bayou City, adding to the 8,000 employees already here, will 'right-size' its office needs.

Ed Curtis, CEO of Austin-based YTexas, consults with companies considering a move to the Lone Star state and there are a lot of them. "The world is changing, Texas is leading in a lot of this innovation," says Curtis. "That's why a lot of these companies are moving here, and why I think that's important to us."

While some may chafe at the changes, in May, Rice University sociologist Dr. Stephen Klineberg, who has tracked Houston's evolution for 40 years, told FOX 26 that those new faces are vital to the city's future.

Texas woman sued $250K by HOA for feeding ducks near her homeThe woman's homeowner's association wants $250,000 from her, saying what she's doing is violating several deed restrictions. How is it that Supreme Court can rule that a worker doesn’t have to pay into a union to access its privileges yet HOA’s can still impose dues and penalties on people like this?
