Beg to differ. There's a plethora of resources in the DFW area for startups. They just don't have a centralized location/leader. There's Tech Wildcatters (incubator), CoHabitat (co-working space and just a great group of people that hang out there), Startup Happy Hours in Dallas (you can meet LOTS of people - lawyers, founders, angels, VC's, other startups, etc.), launchDFW (covers startup news in DFW; disclaimer: I write articles for them), etc. Lots of resources, it's just not easy to find them all the time because it's such a spread out area.

I recently visited DFW area and it was wonderful. Although I'm sure tech may not be high on the list their, with all the growth I saw I would expect many of the other up-starts could utilize the new tech.

I'm not sure what your startup entails, but I would recommend reaching as far towards Austin as possible. The city is really having what could be compared to a small Renaissance. Art, music, and innovation are all there. Now all they need is a startup from HN.

*That is how I would approach the situation.
