Texas State Parks are really nice:

South Llano River State Park adjoins Walter Buck Wildlife Management Area, south of Junction is great as is Pedernales Falls State Park in Blanco County east of Johnson City. We have been to both.

Balmorhea State Park is located in the foothills of the Davis Mountains southwest of Balmorhea and nearby Davis Mountains State Park (along with the famous Big Bend Nat'l Park) are very nice places and one could spend a long time at each. Been to all except Davis, but it is nice areas, be sure to visit the old Ft. Davis a nice place to see.

Mustang Island State Park with about 5 miles of beach on the Gulf of Mexico in Nueces County, south of Port Aransas. We liked this one for the beach.

Monahans Sandhills State Park is about a half-hour's drive west of Odessa. A neat place.

Big Bend National Park is also a choice.
http://www.nps.gov/bibe/
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a possiblity as well.
http://www.nps.gov/gumo/
Padre Island Nat'l Park could be also.

I realize these would have to have a lot of driving time invested to get to them and return. Maybe they would be better once you have a month or more to invest into a trip. Good luck in finding a somewhat dry place, however a lot of the places a little south of you may be colder than were you are. At least as I understand the weather up in your part of the world.
Good luck! We tend to be high and dry here most of the time. We were lucky each time we visted your neck of the woods to be in a dry period.
