I haven't been to Texas much, but one day a few years ago I was visiting
friends in Austin and we went up to Pedernales Falls State Park. It was
very pretty, and so were the roadside wildflowers on the way to and from
the park.
The website is:

That site mentions, "Some nearby activities include Inks Lake State
Park, Longhorn Cavern State Park, Blanco State Park, and Guadalupe
River State Park; Lyndon B. Johnson National and State Historic Sites,
in Johnson City; Admiral Nimitz State Historic Site - National Museum
of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg; Enchanted Rock State Natural Area
north of Fredericksburg; and Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. Many wineries
are in the area including the Texas Hills Vineyard."
Fredericksburg, by the way, was founded by German settlers and is
apparently a popular place to visit.
