I live just outside of Houston which is in southeast Texas and about 40 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Born and raised here. If you want really mild weather don't stray too far north of I-10. If you haven't been here before I would just hop from one state park to another. The terrain south of I-10 can be boring...flat and many areas with few trees..a coastal plain. I think I would concentrate on a triangle of San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Houston. Lots of Texas Revolution history in that area. The further south you go towards McAllen the more of the big "snowbird" RV parks you see. Deep deep east Texas is hilly and very wooded. Not what most peoples perception of Texas would be. East Texas will be a bit cooler.
If you want the assumed typical Texas geography I would focus on the "Hill Country" area. North of San Antonio, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Bandera, etc. Day trips into San Antonio would be awesome. A cold day in central Texas will likely remind you of Spring in Wiscansin.
