Overall TEXAS sucks..... BCZ it closes to early and theres too many DRY counties Austin, Houston, & Dallas are cool In Dallas ckeck out clubs on Lower Greenville(a street), and in Deep Ellum (a part of town, next to downtown... As far as dance music goes... check out Lizard Lounge, Red Jacket, and listen for DJ Merrit on the EDGE (radio station) I also suggest you check the local record stores for underground parties (prob. your best outlet for good international & lcoal talent)\ Hope this helps, Good Luck
