It usually doesn’t get much colder than 40 or so. Once in a while it will actually freeze. But it’s snowed 3 times in the 10 years I’ve lived here, and it was always less than 1-2" and didn’t last the day. The coldest it’s gotten since I’ve been here was 18F, but that was during the big winter storm of 2021 when most of TX lost power for a week+. Fortunately I’m in the part of Texas that gets is power from Entergy in Louisiana which is not a clusterfuck unlike ERCOT’s deregulated hot garbage, so I was only out for a day and a half. Here’s a composite image I made on that day showing snow on the ground, and the coldest temperature I saw indoors while the power was out. Fortunately I had big thick blankets.
I live near Houston, a couple summers ago we had 43 days in a row with highs above 100F/38C.
Yuck. What are the winters like?

Way up near the 45th parallel and it’s well above 110 here several days in the summer, like 3 weeks straight.
