Hi MR,

 

I live in North Texas but there are people living in South Texas, too.  Here are a few places you might want to check into before moving.

 

Texas Health and Human Services Commission

 

CALL: 2-1-1 -- Area Information Centers (AIC)

This system will allow Texans to apply for a variety of services – including Medicaid, food stamps, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and long-term care – in person, through the Internet, over the phone and by fax or mail.  The call centers, which will provide assistance from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., will receive and process applications, and consumers will be able to track their applications through an automated phone system. http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/about_hhsc/contact/contact.html

Does anyone live in south Texas, i.e., Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen? We are considering a move, perhaps to that area and wondered about wheelchair accessibility, both in housing and public buildings/areas, ease of finding attendants, etc. I did notice that housing was VERY affordable (not sure why), which is a plus if we need to remodel. I'm assuming it's just like any other areas -- but any information, good or bad, would be helpful.
