Texas has great state parks. I would avoid them in from mid July until the end of August unless you are uber hearty, or have lots of water and plan a shaded trip. Texas is HOT in the Summer time. See the TPWD Geocaching page if you want some additional motivation and direction for visiting a specific park.
