First time snowbird....need help

This is what we use.

I would get reservations. I workamp at a park in Arizona and most of the sites were filled by April 1st for the up coming 2015/2016 season. Of course I don't know what it is like in Texas.

Go 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

Find a place to stay, if you need power for air conditioning.

if you want north of Austin i recomend Inks state park

To far north! It will be COLD there with ice and snow :(

We 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.

That is true.

I 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.

The number one guideline is.
Nothing north of I-10, not a hard rule, just a guideline.

For 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.
