Recently, we posed a question to our Facebook followers asking TCDRS members what their Texas hometown is known for.

If there is one thing we’ve learned in our 55 years of providing retirement benefits for Texans, it’s that Texas county and district employees love where they come from and the communities they serve — so much that they tend to stay local after they retire.

To see more from your fellow retirees and join in on the discussion, follow us @TCDRS on Facebook.
