The big cities in Texas have become extremely transient. There are probably several big British groups that meet for a variety of reasons, especially premier league fans. I think you will have very little problem finding like-minded people to a varying degree.

The others replying to your OP are right in the sense that INNER-CITY Houston is liberal with probably the biggest low-income Black communities in Texas peppered throughout the city. Additionally, younger people 1-5 years out of college tend to gravitate to city residence because of the social aspects of nightlife, etc. These demographics tend to be liberal and that's why you see ALL the big city propers in Texas vote blue (see map link below).

The outer suburbs become more conservative because people's priorities change to family, etc., and the suburbs offer cheaper housing costs and better public schools.

As far as the city of Houston itself, it's the biggest singular city in Texas with the WORST traffic, and Houston may be the most polarizing of the 4 big metro areas in Texas. Many people HATE Houston, and many people really like it. People seem to be a little more genuine than Dallas, have less personality than Austin, and less Mexican than San Antonio. You are basically on the Gulf Coast, but that's a whole different topic. The weather from May through September, being HUMID as hell and low to mid 90's, is fairly miserable. You are likely to get a serious Hurricane scare once every year.

You could move to a WAY worse city in the States, and the better cities is WAY WAY HIGHER, or you'll get worse weather. Anywhere you move in the States will require some kind of compromise like job opportunity, weather, cost of living, scenic beauty, etc.

Good luck!
