Not sure where you need to drive to work, but obviously the rural outskirts of the Metroplex are going to be a lot further from city center.
That said, Texas has around 50,000 miles of highways (interstates, toll roads, state highways of various designations) and another some odd 200,000 miles of county roads. You can ride 12 months a year - although perhaps not every day in the winter and in the summer you'll most likely wind up crepuscular.
