For now? Yes, but that's in the northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle and that about as far out in the middle of nowhere you can get.

Winter is like fall i most states in most of Texas. There are areas where it can get quite old inpanhandle of texcas in winter tho around dec-feb.

Not currently. As an example I'll bring up the forecast for tomorrow:



Nowhere in Texas is forecast to be cooler than 90F, and most of the state is hotter than 100F. Rain isn't forthcoming, and neither is anything remotely resembling what I think of as cool conditions.

If you're asking about climate, in summer there is nowhere in Texas that is cool and rainy. In winter it's a trade-off. Places like Houston and Brownsville average in the 60's, so that may or may not qualify for you, especially considering that's winter. East Texas is a bit rainy in winter, but South Texas is not. The coldest spot in the state in winter is the Texas Panhandle, and they average 40's for highs. However, those places are rather dry year-round, and the most moisture you can hope for is a big dumping from a Panhandle Hook snowstorm.

If you want a cool and rainy climate, you need to look far away from Texas.

Well it depends on what you want for cool weather. There is a town called fort davis and it is forecasted 87f as a high today. Pretty high for its altitude and not very cold.

I thought Houston could get snow in winter?

According to Wiki light snow has fallen 35 times in the last 117 years, about once every 3.3 years on average.

Not intending to tip my hat to Al Gore, but I was born and raised in Houston, and have pictures taken in the early 60's of me and my Mom building a three part snowman in our front yard. Our house was across Greens Bayou from where eventually Busch Intercontinental would be built. I remember sitting in class at Edgewood Elementary, looking out the window around Christmas time and sometimes seeing snowflakes falling, and actually getting that Norman Rockwell picture of Yuletide in my mind. But it seems that by 1967 or so that the weather began an upward spiral toward equatorial heat, and humidity, and the days of 4 seasons would be only a memory. There were a few times after that, over the years where we would get a hard freeze, jack frost, and events that would make us glad for any heat relief, no matter what form it came in, but, if memory serves me right, I think the last big snow event was in 2004.That was mainly of interest because the coast got more white stuff than further north, and Texas Highways ran a picture of snow on the palm trees, and the beach at Galveston. We moved out of state in '08, but for anyone seeking heat relief in Texas, I would say, stay in the A.C., have a cold beverage of choice, and hope for a blue norther to offer some relief.
