Texas is totally a nice place to live and if you can convince your parents to head this way instead, you may be better off.

I give my opinion here with a grain of salt and a disclaimer that I'm not telling you to do anything illegal, but I know several pit owners that get their dogs into banned breed apartments by calling them lab mixes. Turns out most people ignorant enough to ban certain dog breeds wouldn't know a pit from a lab unless it bit them on the rear, in which case it becomes a pit by default.
