I wonder how many non-energy Fortune 500 companies have chosen to have their HQ in Texas. I can think of a few - TXN, DELL, JCP, AA - but they certainly trail CA and NY in that department.

<<<So you wouldn't relocate or start a business in TX because of fear of execution?>>> I question the validity of that "study". IMO it is just an opinion piece. You hear the same biased stuff coming out of CNBC "anchors"/"commentators" day in and day out. They have virtually come out of the closet. They no longer act in any way like journalists. They resemble "news people" on FOX. The "study" was a joke. They list 40 characteristics (stuff like education, quality of life, access to healthcare, etc) and then they artificially weight these charactristics. They take data from each of states PR/sales force as is. The study could not even be passed off as a freshman class term paper.
