- tatestExplorer IIDepends on which months. Dallas is usually still nice (just cooling off enough to be nice for people accustomed to northern summers at beginning of October, can be having ice and snow by end of November, but mid-December is more typical.
San Antonio starts getting cool in November, has occasional cold days in January and February. The rainy season starts in November, and though it gets below freezing from time to timein January and February, frozen precipitation is rare.
Spring is March in both places, San Antonio will be getting warm to stay warm, Dallas going back and forth between cold and warm as fronts come through, with Tornado Alley weather.
Whether either works for snowbirding depends on your expectations. North Texas weather is so little different from NW Arkansas, southern Missouri, NE Oklahoma, that I might as well stay at home. Some snowbirds spend about 4 months here, going further south only for Jan-Feb.
San Antonio works for me in the two coldest months, I would go there in winter when my daughter lived there, but if you are expecting anything like summer weather, you need to go a lot further south. No place in south Texas has winter weather anything like that in South Florida or Southern California, which is why Texas is a less costly place to rent a patch of land for the winter. - sdianel_-acct_cExplorerFor Dallas Ft Worth area check out Oak Creek RV Park in Weatherford TX or Texan RV Ranch in Mansfield TX. It will be very cold in the winter in that area, with ice storms the biggest problem.
For San Antonio we don't have any recommendations. We use www.woodalls.com and search by the city, and select 50 mile radius and sort by distance. There are many great RV parks in that area. - FizzExplorerThe number one guideline is.
Nothing north of I-10, not a hard rule, just a guideline. - dbblsExplorerI suggest you go to the coast. We stay at Rockport and like it there. Many people go to the Rio Grand Valley further down the coast.

To far north! It will be COLD there with ice and snow :(
That is true. - MNRonExplorerWe stayed at Hidden Valley RV park in Von Ormy (just outside of San Antonio) a couple years ago, we enjoyed it. The owners are very nice and even gave me some mesquite logs they were going to use for firewood so I could play on my lathe when I got home.
Up by Dallas we've only stayed in state parks (TX state parks are great but you probably can only stay a couple weeks at any one). You might find the weather a bit colder than you're expecting around Dallas. - LynnandCarolExplorerTo far north! It will be COLD there with ice and snow :(
- newman_fulltimeExplorer IIif you want north of Austin i recomend Inks state park
- pianotunaNomad IIIFind a place to stay, if you need power for air conditioning.
- Ranger_SmithExplorerGo online. Look for some nice parks and make reservations at each. One thing though . . . you can't snowboard in Texas as there is no snow there. You can snowbird there
