Well, you don't have to worry about Brownsville because there is no run that goes there.
As for crash pads, I'm not aware of any specific ones. The folks that want to have an enjoyable time dig in and get an apartment. I have also known folks who live out of their cars or at FBOs and they always seem to be the ones who complain the most.
If you are specifically looking for being in Texas, there is almost always a need for people based in Lubbock as we have slots for 3 BE99 pilots out there.
Another option may be home basing if you don't mind spending a good bit of time AWAY from home. This is where you are assigned to and live at one of our bases. As I understand it, you would go out to an assignment for to three weeks and then be back for a week off. When we get to the place where we don't need to send as many people out for staffing you could be scheduled for reserve at your home base. You can check with the recruiter when you interview about this option.
