South Texas Rio Grande Valley city directly east of McAllen — anchored by the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge (Texas's busiest commercial truck crossing). Downtown Pharr is the small walkable core. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Texas has no state income tax. The structural draws are cross-border commercial-trucking employment density, year-round-warm humid subtropical climate, and McAllen-adjacent infrastructure. Heavily Mexican-American (Spanish is widely spoken).
