Check out New Braunfels - where Newks is - lots of adult clinics -

Where it gets cold would be North Texas like Dallas and out west in Amarillo, Lubbock....by mid November down right brutal

Excellent detailed info! Im gonna have a hard time choosing between SF and Texas. Maybe ill do both! I really wanna see if i can get there in time for election day, could be quite fun, i guess that these places would be mostly pro Romney, right?

It'll save you money traveling all over and Florida is cheaper then California by a fair bit.

I must say that sounds really awesome! U think that id be able to find clinics every week with 5.0 players? Im still not sure how i would go about finding other rec players to play with, do people prefer to play with their regular partners? Maybe meeting local players at open or 5.0 usta tourneys?

For the OP, be sure to do some research into tennis in and around Boca Raton.

"The inbred child of Cal and the deep south" - sounds like the beginning of a horror movie! I definetely wanna experience those places and culture - there are other people than retirees in those towns right?!

Ill make sure i do some research on the Boca Raton area! I really need to go on googlemaps now!

These are the tourneys in Florida starting (and finishing?!) on the 11th of Nov that i could find on the USTA website. None seem to be open level but i cant really say for sure. Only the ones in Tampa and Miami mention ntrp level, i dont know if one of those might be relevant? And what does Level 7 mean? Advice is greatly appreciated!

All the other ones are junior tournaments.

Generally speaking, Florida has better weather, better facilities, etc. but Texas has better tournaments. However, for the time period that you are talking about (mid november on) there isn't that much. There is a big tournament in Corpus Christi and another one is Dallas after Christmas but not much in between.
