I'm always happy when I see Texas make the top of national lists. Well, here we are again...

Texas has passed NY on the # of Fortune 500 companies 

Fortune 500 magazine has posted its list of the Fortune 500. And there's more good news for Texas: We're #1 when it comes to being the "home base" for corporate headquarters. With a total of 58, we've surpassed New York by 3 (they were formerly #1) and California by 6.

Low taxes, affordable land and a large labor force are the main factors cited for corporations moving to our beautiful state.
