I live just south of Dallas and we haven't had any here yet that I know of.
 The most aggressive bees I have seen in this area came from Alabama in
packages.  I have heard that they are in South Texas but there are no
reports of swarms of bees chasing people down and killing them like the
press would report if they could.  The fact is that they just aren't that
bad.  Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.  Just like
rattlesnakes, copperheads, brown recluses, black widows and yellowjackets.
