How Many People Are Really Moving to Texas?

Written by Todd Hower | October 8, 2015

It should come as no surprise that there are a lot of people moving to Texas.

And a lot of these people are moving to Austin. There’s not a week that goes by that Austin isn’t making it to the top of a list as the best city for [insert title here].

Why are so many people moving here? Jobs, schools, music, outdoor activities, nightlife, you name it.

It’s obvious that with all the growth we are experiencing in the Lake Travis area, people aren’t just making their way out to Texas and settling down under the big city lights of Austin.

You may be wondering … where are all these people coming from?

The 2015 Edition of the Texas Relocation Report was released on October 1, 2015. It’s time to reveal the truth. Is everyone that moves to Texas coming from California?

What you may not know is that a good chunk of Texans are getting out of Texas.

Let’s take a look at not only who’s moving to Texas, but where are the Texans going that leave Texas?

We just want to have a good time, hang out …

“I like to say, ‘we don’t mind if you come here ten times and don’t spend a dime. We just want to have a good time, hang out.’ On Thursdays we have Thirsty Thursdays where we have beer at the shop and just have a really chill time.”

We always want to have a positive impact …

“We always want to have a positive impact. Whether it’s the consumer drinking our product, whether it’s our employees or the farmers that grow our product — they’re all equally important.”

Rocks Premium Mixers: A Leap of Faith from Sand to Shelves

Written by Cathy Hale | October 7, 2015

An idea born on the sandy beaches of Tahiti has made its way into stores statewide and soon, nationwide. Lake Travis residents and business owners, Steve and Dawn Langerock, founders of Rocks Premium Mixers have an interesting story to share. A story that is most often told over a refreshing Mai Tai.

The software CEO and business consultant turned mixologists were enjoying a relaxing Tahitian vacation about 12 years ago, when they discovered their new favorite drink, a perfect blend of tropical fruit juices and dark rum. When they returned home, they searched everywhere for it — they even tried to locate the beachcomber in Tahiti — but no luck.

So what do two resourceful professionals think? Let’s make it ourselves!

And that’s exactly what they did.

Lake Travis Area Veterinary Clinics

Written by Mandy Spivey | October 6, 2015

I love our dog, Moses. A beautiful and majestic canine, he has the energy of a puppy yet he’s over 7 years old; a wild weimaraner that just won’t stop.

That was, until last summer, when we noticed a small lump on his leg that wouldn’t go away. He was also more lethargic and didn’t want to go on long walks anymore. We brought him to his local Lake Travis veterinarian for a check-up and lo and behold, that lump wasn’t just a bug bite, but a growing tumor that had to be removed.

Luckily for Moses and us, we caught it early and have some of the best veterinarians right here in the Lake Travis area. So when we had to schedule him for surgery we knew we could stay close to home when it came to finding him a doggie doctor.

Whether you have a dog, cat, bird or other small pet, it’s good to know just what veterinary clinics are within close driving distance, keeping in mind that emergencies like snake bites and poisonings can happen a lot to animals near the lake and Hill Country. Time is of the essence in many of these emergencies.
