Before we put a lot of time and effort into this I need to know how many would be interested in a Texas Gathering?
I know some can't make the Jackson Gathering due to distance. And others have mentioned having one here in Texas.
I need a survey of where the majority would be able to attend or willing to attend. If you KNOW you don't plan to go, please don't vote.
Also, the time you would prefer to have this.
I am going to suggest Houston primary because it is easy to access and there is a good support team to help it happen with Jim Griffin, and myself, and I am hoping others in the area would like to help.
But Houston is a large place and Kemah Boardwalk is a family friendly place on the water. It has a small amusement park your kids could enjoy and lots of faboulous resturants. Here is a link:

There are two airports into Houston and Hobby Airport would be the closest to the Kemah Boardwalk. Southwest Airlines flies into Hobby only now and offers great rates. Many 49.00 -99.00 if you travel on Tue or Wed.
For this reason you may want to consider making it a summer vacation. Galveston is not far and also offers a lot of tourist entertainments.
The other locations to consider IF there is a host for these locations would be:
Dallas, Austin, San Antoino, or Corpus Christy
