New to Texas

I'm currently living in San Antonio, I've been here since September, I'm moving to El Paso next week and will finally be getting my vehicle down here. But i am from Washington State, at the Southwest corner. I basically grew up in Portland OR. The drift scene where im from is pretty dope, and im just looking to get an idea of what's going on in Texas. I know where im from we usually spend most of our time at the port of portland, we've got a few touge roads in the columbia river gorge that we hit once every couple months, and then a little race track that opens its doors to drifters 1-2 times a month. Problem is where im from cops aren't real fond of us, and have started cracking down, and scouting our spots. what should i expect in El Paso? is it mostly parking lot/loading bays, or street. are there any decent mountain roads? do any local tracks allow drifting? Whats up Texas? im going to be here the next few years, i need someone to show me whats up down here! I'm excited to be here and have heard good things about the car scene.
