I will be starting my pain fellowship in 2012 and want to move to texas afterwards. I'm not from Texas but understand that there is much more money to be made there then the saturated southern california coast. I'm wide open to the state and looking for ideas as to where there is a need and people with decent insurance. Any and all help is appreciated.

thanx
