Texas also.

No, I wouldn't even say Texas is close to 100k starting. Lower end of the bell curve is closer to 65-70k in Austin. Average (across all levels of seniority for software engineer) likely falls somewhere in the low 100s. Just basing this on a quick search and my personal experience working in Austin around 2012-2015.
Were you working downtown?
No. But like I said just take a peek at any job site that lists aggregate salaries. Starting numbers in Texas are not at 6 digits.
They are in Houston and Dallas, in the proper industry as SW dev.
