Anyone here from Houston?

I'm being offered a new position that would see me transfer from Edmonton/Calgary(we spend a lot of time in both cities) Canada to Houston, Texas.

Debating on whether it's a good move for family (wife and 3 kids ages 3-newborn). I do IT project management and my wife is an engineer.

Just wanted to see if there are others who have first hand experience living between the 2 places and how they compare in your experience. I already know no free healthcare (employer will provide insurance) and high property taxes down in Texas.
