South Texas Rio Grande Valley city directly west of McAllen — historically anchored by the Texas citrus industry (the Texas Citrus Fiesta is the local heritage event). Downtown Mission and the area near the historic Tom Landry Stadium are the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Texas has no state income tax. The structural draws are McAllen-adjacent infrastructure and year-round-warm humid subtropical climate. Heavily Mexican-American culturally.
