Texas, of course is huge & has all types of people, but if you come here, you will eventually begin to notice widespread hatred of Latinos specifically (which is pretty stupid, since it's based on rudemetary racism & repeatedly re-enforced rhetoric of the right rather than reality...but that's just the way it is.)
As far as security: Like Agmen mentioned, lock your doors & meet your neighbors. That should cover it. You don't need to own a gun to protect yourself unless you just want the option to shoot someone. The best self defense is common sense
I'm In Dallas, & like every major city, there are crime issues in certain areas, but the fear of becoming a victim is far more common than actually being a victim. I have on countless occasions over the decades, walked through the worst areas of town alone, both night & day & have never had issues, & yet the only time in my life I've ever been mugged was in my neighborhood of the time (considered a low-crime area)
Beyond all that, another thing to keep in mind is that no matter which part of the country you decide to stake a claim, regardless of how charming a city may be, the American suburbs are homogenous nationwide. For example, Dallas & Chicago are as different as night & day, but once you leave the city limits & enter the suburban sprawl, the only real difference are the street names & landmarks. Sadly, in the past 30 years, everything else has become identical.
