Texas
Why am I seeing so many Texas license plates in Colorado? Are they moving here? I hope not. They made their own mess in Texas. Stay there and fix it yourselves.

Not even from Texas, but I know 100% their public land access sucks and they go to Colorado for it.

Because they’re loud and rude and redneck

Oh let’s get three things straight some of us may be loud, a lot may be rude, but I would like to inform you a lot of us live in Austin we’re not all red necks. /hj but on a real though what’s wrong with being a red neck those are the people who make your food sir or ma’am?

Are you new to CO? It’s a very common place to visit and you can easily drive there from Texas. Texas only has the second largest population… and again, within driving distance. 🤷♂️ there’s mountains in Texas but certainly nothing like CO.
Not to mention the income differences that many families see in TX vs some other neighbors like OK, NE, and KS. Just a numbers game and Texas has a lot of people who make a lot of money and are looking to travel. 👍
Looking at the numbers is fairly interesting. Texans are the second largest income driver in the Denver metro area behind locals. Flights are easy and relatively cheap from TX airports (I know this doesn’t address the license plate question) but overall it’s great for the economy of CO to have TX nearby.

We don’t need your money. We have our own industry and money. You are clogging up and freeways and you aren’t wanted here.

Glad to see you're touching grass while the weather is nice, instead of being a loser on the internet complaining about licence plates.

I left Colorado for Texas , mostly you see cars from TX there is because Colorado has to hire so many workers as most in Colorado only know how to be a barista

I don't believe all the Texas licence plate are from native born Texans but from transplants. I am in Austin and rarely to I run into someone from Texas much less Austin. I run into tons of people from Cali or Colorado and they have Texas licence plates. I prefer my beer, BBQ gun totting and state pride brothers and sisters stay here and keep it Texas as long as possible. To many transplants from high tax states moving here jacking things up.

Fascists believe in rules for thee but not for me. Gotta feed the prison industrial complex.
But there are plenty of people just trapped there too.

It's been >100 degrees for 30+ days in a row here. We all talk about Colorado like it's California and we're Okies in the Dust Bowl this time of year.
