We have Blue Cross/Blue Shield/TX and have used it out of state without any problem.

Shop carefully for plans with good reviews. Don't go cheap unless it has very good reviews, especially out of state if you travel out of state. Go to the Medicare web site, put in your info, and shop plans available.

They all pretty much offer the same coverage BUT the service out of area can vary greatly depending on the carriers presence in the area you are in when you have a claim.
I once had a local supplement called MVP had to troubleshoot the claim from an ER for 3 months. Switched to a national presence and have had no problems since. My plan is only open to retires of the place I worked

Do you have the 2015 Medicare & You book for Texas?? If so, all the supplemental plans, with costs, will be listed in the back.

You can also search out the Texas supplemental plans on http://www.medicare.gov/
