Hey Hammond - these early months are easier in TX, but not when you kids start seeing triple digit temperatures! I'll take 28F and a dusting of snow over 110F any day.
Summer in Texas is OK if you can ride in the morning. I completed an R12 last year. That's a tough goal. Forces you to get out and ride on days when you would really rather not. Did the March ride last year on a terribly windy day. To do the July and August rides I had to start at 5am. Then I messed around in September, and didn't ride my 200k until the end of the month and ended up riding one of our hardest rides on a pretty hot day.
