Snowbirding in Texas
How far south does one need to be to normally avoid freezing temperatures? Is San Antonio far enough? TIA

I'll give you my 2c speech like I do on the Snowbird forum. Hopefully it won't bore you two much.
Since you're in an RV website I'm going to guess you are a mobile RV snowbird and not a snowbird that drives down to a park model. Given that assumption, and assuming you're coming from MO (per your signature)I would suggest the following:
Going south go to Galveston Island via the free ferry from the Bolivar Peninsula. No worries it handles multiple 18 wheelers and RV'ers all the time.
Spend some time on Galveston Island. Drive down (from the bottom of the island avoiding Houston) to the Rockport area. Spend some more time. Drive down to South Padre Island and spend some time (Jan/Feb timeframe.) Turn around and head up to SA and spend some time. From there head up into Hill Country (Mar/April/May) and spend some time. Call it a winter wrap for Texas. Then enjoy some of the free Casino parking and parks in Oklahoma prior to the mad dash for home.
Enjoy, if you don't then there is always FL/AZ/CA just to name the big ones for the following winters.
Good advise and much to do and see following that route.
