I'm an engineer that gets asked to go look at job opportunities there by randoms on LinkedIn.

I have a daughter, there is no way in hell I'd go there for a job. Even for a seven figure salary.

I don't even think I'd take a remote role from Texas.

The company I work remotely for is headquartered in TX. It was actually in another state when I joined, and they consolidated to TX a few years ago.

They have a policy of helping relocate employees, no questions asked. One of my trans coworkers recently moved from Austin to California. I won’t be surprised to hear of more moves out of TX over time.
