It's great that you were able to use this information to get your travel claim approved for a round trip last year. It's strange that they are now saying only one way is authorized for your recent travel claim. On a different note, as a new member of this forum, I wanted to chime in on the discussion about Corpus Christi, TX.
I've never lived there myself, but from what I've heard, some pros of living in Corpus Christi include its beautiful beaches, friendly people, and relatively affordable cost of living. There I also come across countless historical monuments that grabbed my attention. Some cons might include the hot and humid weather, occasional hurricanes, and lack of public transportation.
