I play tennis (probably 3.5 at the moment, a little rusty). Live in Montrose, and would be down to just hit or play.

I also live in Montrose. Where do you play?

You will find players/places to play for either sport if you seek out. But its worth mentioning that Pickleball has seen an incredible rise over couple years and courts are popping up everywhere (especially in the suburbs of Houston).

The cost of living index might not be realistic (150+ in California or NY and 120+ in Boston). I know there are a lot of factors and assumptions but just want to get a gauge / ballpark estimate from diff perspectives. (Looking for strategy and ops in big tech... for now... )

Has anyone gone from a complex litigation practice like Construction and/or Government Contracts to a more general civil lit practice (PI, family, etc.)?

I rarely, if ever, see the inside of a courthouse, and am generally just bored. If anyone has made the switch I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
