For Texas, I'm starting to think more and more that Dallas might have the best shot. I personally love the idea of Austin getting it, and I think Austin has more of a chance than San Antonio (and maybe Houston) for a lot of reasons. I just think Dallas is more prepared for something like that with their light rail system, two airports, and hopefully the HSR connection to another major metro area. They also have multiple major universities as well as a huge presence in the tech and retail worlds, not to mention data storage, etc.

Austin has a lot going for it compared to some cities, but I'm not sure that it's going to win this one. However, I can't tell you how much I'd like to be wrong there (and I very well could be).
