The two deadbolts are required by Texas code for apartments. One is a normal deadbolt, the other is a keyless deadbolt, so it can only be opened from the inside preventing the landlord or anyone else with the key from accessing the unit while you are inside.

[@JustinTreble]

As someone who grew up in Texas, Mikey needs to try Buc-ee's. It's the largest gas station in the world that has a lot to offer. Their BBQ sandwiches are amazing, jerky is great, fudge is super good, basically the best kind of food that you'll ever see in a gas station. Not to mention their bathroom is insanely clean. Any and all Texans can vouch!

Mikey, here's a helpful tip about TX Driver's License. Get your car registered first, at the Tax Assessor office. Then go get your DL. The TX Department of Public Safety (DMV) will require a TX registration for your car in order to get a DL. (Or you can lie and tell them to you don't have a car.) Lastly, the day after getting your car registered, expect a lot of robocalls about renewing your car's warranty. Start screening your calls.

[@darthjarjarbinks8953]

@@himmyturner101 Sure. In states like California, Illinois, and New York, there are certain policies implemented that differ from those in places like Texas and Florida. Generally speaking, the former have liberal policies while the latter have conservative policies. People that move to Texas and Florida generally move there from states like California, New York, and Illinois to escape these so-called “progressive” policies and taxes. The thing is, they vote for these same policies after they move, despite these things being the very reason they left their home states. Oregon, for example, used to be a red state (voted almost exclusively Republican) up until the 80s, when many Californians started moving there, thus turning the state blue (democrat). I believe it was either in 1984 or 1986 when they were having a gubernatorial election that the Republican incumbent’s running slogan was “Don’t Californacate my Oregon”, which basically meant don’t screw up my state because you screwed up yours and you won’t fix it. That’s why many Texans now say, “Don’t California my Texas” because they like these conservative policies and don’t want to have to go through what California went through. California used to be the American dream, but too many people sought this dream and destroyed it; now they are moving throughout the country and destroying what’s left of the good states. That’s why most people hate it when they see someone moving in to their neighborhood with a California license plate or something. TLDR: They left because of liberal policies yet continue to vote for these same policies and mess up yet another great state.

Most of the restaurants are listed under Mediterranean, so if you’re wanting something specific, like Turkish or Persian, then I’d search using those terms (check out yelp, they’ve got good listings and reviews) rather than Middle Eastern/Mediterranean, because it’ll mostly be East Mediterranean fusion. Honestly though, the best food is homemade, so if you have any middle eastern friends, try asking their moms or aunties to make food, because that’s where the best food is (coming from someone with a big Iranian family lol).

We just moved to Texas. My husband loves it here! I'm so homesick I can't stop crying.

[@ericphipps7462]

I know that feeling. I moved from Texas to New Jersey last year for work and missed my mom so much. I cried everyday the first week. Luckily, I got acclimated to my new surroundings, but I’m back in Texas now in grad school at A&M! I hope you settle in soon🙂

Wow, I'm so glad you chose Dallas over Houston. I've always wanted to live there because favorite team is the Dallas Mavericks and because there is a lot of good authentic food in Dallas. Please do a comparison video between living in Dallas, NYC, and Seattle!

[@misscynthia32]

You made a wise choice to go to Dallas. I left Irving 5yrs ago and moved to Houston such a regret.

[@marthar4370]

You can always come back :)...I have family in Houston and while it's a great city I can get around easier in Dallas and Ft Worth

[@preemiemomtotwins]

My family and I went to Hu Tieu My Tho restaurant. Mentioned that we had seen the place on your video. I had the same dish you did Mikey. It was so good.

HUGE KITCHEN ISLAND!! All that space. Imagine how many instant ramen packages could fit in there.

Hi Mikey, I used to live in Seattle too and moved here to Dallas in 2008! Welcome to the Lone Star State! Hopefully my wife and I bump into you one of this days. We’re huge fans of yours. By the the way there is a Jollibee here now in Dallas, it’s in Plano

Suggestion for your next visit to Whataburger... Order biscuits and gravy but ask for the jalapeno cheddar biscuit, then ask for two sausage patties, and “two round fried eggs”(if you just say “eggs” you will get scrambled eggs). Assemble as follows…. Split the biscuit and put a sausage patty and fried egg on each biscuit half, and then drench with gravy. You will need a knife and fork to eat…. Very addictive!

[@karenscribner7031]

Scrambled eggs around TX can be egg yolks and milk.
