You have o go pretty far south in Texas to avoid ice storms and other bad weather.
SO you are looking at the Texas coast.
Have you considered Arizona as the weather is generally warmer in spots of Arizona than in Texas.
For example last winter Texas got 2 or 3 really wicked winter storms with lots of ice.
At the same time Casa Grande, AZ had over 110 days without rain average temp +- 70 in the day and 40 +_ at night.
