Living in Texas, I have always felt safe. Probably because there are so many safe small towns across the Lone Star State.  

Sure, we know that crime happens everywhere but there is never a time when I felt in danger. That is important when you’re thinking about places to raise a family, or areas where you want to live.  

And although there is crime everywhere we are fortunate to have so many fantastic law enforcement officers that work to serve and protect our communities to help keep everyone safe. 

It seems like we always talk about great local restaurants or things to do around Texas, but it’s important to live in an area where you feel safe. While I have always felt safe myself, I wanted to see which areas are known for being the safest.  

How Do You Decide Where the Safe Areas are Located?  

It’s difficult to compare crime statistics for so many areas in Texas, especially when you start looking at the smaller communities.  

But recently there was a report put by MoneyGeek that named the safest small towns in Texas, and it seems like the program had some pretty good answers. Which of course I wanted to share with you.
