This has nothing to do with jokes but i really need help..........question for anyone who LIVES in Texas?

i recently broke up with my fiance/bf of 2 years, and i need to get away, everything here reminds me of him (actually he broke up with me) so i am planning to move from upstate NY to a city close to Arlington TX. It is a very long trip, and would be the most adventurous thing i had ever done, therefore I want everything to go smoothly! getting a job will be no problem! however affording an apartment is what i worry about! Generally how much are utilities around there, what utilities do u pay for??? i know here we pay school taxes, water, trash, electric, phone/cable/internet, and heat! is this the same that is paid in TX, is there more? and generally how much do these utilities cost around there????
