There are smaller firms in Dallas, i.e. Stephens, Raymond James, Energy Spectrum, Cogent Partners. As far as IBD that's all I'm aware of; there may be more.
Wells has a small LevFin group in Dallas that assists the energy group I believe. Could be wrong.

Thanks for the help. Do yall think the move from Houston to Dallas may end up severely limiting my options as far as contuining in energy?
It won't help. Why are you looking to move in the first place if you don't mind me asking?
It will obviously limit your options. However, there are still quite a few energy-focused groups in Dallas in all sectors of the financial industry (commercial banking, corporate banking, investment banking, private equity, equity research, corporate finance, etc.). Clearly there are way less positions in Dallas than in Houston, but at the same time there are way less individuals gunning for these positions. This is my opinion, nothing more and nothing less.
Winning Squared, no qualms with Houston. I love the city because of its laid-back atmosphere, healthy economy, and massive networks associated with UT, A&M, Rice, SMU, TCU, etc... But I'm from the area, so I figure I should broaden my horizons and take a peak at what else is out there.
Sidenote: I've already decided Texas is where I belong. Went to NYC for a while. Too cold.
