But a defiant attitude toward Covid restrictions, new limits on voting access and now the nation’s strictest abortion law could undermine its appeal for future moves.  Companies including Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)., Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) Corp. and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc. have moved operations and college-educated, creative-class workers to Texas in recent years; enclaves like Austin and Houston’s Montrose neighborhood felt a little like San Francisco with...
