Retirement Living in Texas
As a Texan you more than likely know where you would like to retire. Maybe stay in your own hometown with great neighbors, good friends and family close by. For others now might be the time after lots of hard work to fulfill that dream to move into the area you enjoyed for vacations and week-ends to go fishing, golfing or enjoy the arts.
 
For the out-of-state retiree this might be the time to check out the Lone Star State with its coastal beaches, rolling hills, plains, prairies, forests, mountains and deserts and settle where it feesl the most comfortable and the pocketbook can afford.

Texas offers one of the best retirement programs - “Go TEXAN”. This Certified Retirement Community Program is a certification and promotion program provided by the Texas Department of Agriculture. To become a certified retirement community, each community must complete a rigorous application process including a retiree desirability assessment. Each application is reviewed and scored by an independent advisory committee comprised of volunteers who are experienced in various aspects of community and economic development.  The GO TEXAN stamp of approval ensures each certified community has demonstrated through its application that it can meet the living, employment/volunteer, health, entertainment, education and safety needs of its citizens and visitors - all the things that make Texas a great place to retire. 

So far 25 Retirement communities have signed up for that program.
