Any other information that you would like to add: Kingsville is small enough to have that small town feel but large enough to offer you choices in activities, shopping and housing!
--Corpus is about 40 minutes away, depending on road conditions. The Agents who live there like the city life, and put up with the commute. You will be working ten plus hours a day, so if you choose to locate there, you might want to consider carpooling. There are some apartment complexes near Chapman Ranch road on West Staples.

Hawks Landing is an apartment complex five minutes away from the Kingsville station. I highly recommend looking into this. It is military housing, but will rent to BP if there is a vacancy and no military personnel are interested. Rent is just under 900 bucks a month for a three bedroom, two bathroom unit. Nice housing, if you ask me. There is a golf course directly across the street.

--If you like fishing, you will fit right in with the rest of the guys. Ditto with softball. Fishing, I've heard, is excellent in this area.

--Port Aransas beach is also very nice, and much closer to Kingsville than South Padre.

--The ranches are very beautiful, and there is nothing in the world better than stalking the wiley extranjero in the middle of the night.
