What's Plano like? My brother and his family lived in Plano/Frisco for years and it looks nice but I don't want to move to the equivalent of Chandler/Gilbert where it's mostly families.
I'm confused. If you work from a home office, why can't you travel from any major airport and not necessarily DFW? If you must go in for occasional meetings, couldn't you fly in at your own expense in the worst case?

ADDED: Are there potential emergencies that would require your presence in some DFW area office almost instantly?

I've heard of call center people who were required to live within a certain phone service area (such as being a "local" call away from the physical call center and served by the same provider of local hardwired service) as a condition of working from home. There might have also been requirements of being able to use some particular internet service provider.
