Generalist HF/AM in TX & FL

Does anyone know of any good generalist teams/firms in either Texas or Florida? I want to relocate to either state within the next few years so I’m trying to figure out which firms to make connections with. I’m a generalist now on a reputable fund so I think I should be a competitive candidate but any insight on the switch from AM to HF would also be interesting.
