Summary

  • The Texas economy would be the 9th largest in the world, if the Lone Star State was its own country (and it once was, by the way).
  • Relative affordability, abundant land, ample natural resources, access to the Gulf Coast for imports/exports, and a business-friendly regulatory environment have drawn people, jobs, and corporations.
  • But investing in the Texas economy isn't as simple as finding companies that are headquartered in the state. You have to dig a little deeper.
  • I present my 18-stock dividend growth portfolio that I believe to be a great way to tap into the growth potential of Texas.
