Well, since Texas does have one of the 2 professional US Quidditch 
franchises identified by JKR in QTTA, I think it's only fitting that 
Texas (which, btw, is a huge chunk of American real estate to just 
ignore -- <g>) should have one of the larger American wizarding schools.
We Texans on HP4GU-Texas figure it could be located easily enough in the 
vast unsettled lands of western Texas where the Sweetwater All-Stars 
franchise is, in the Hill Country of central Texas, in the Valley, in 
the piney woods of Eastern Texas ... lots of places.  But, there simply 
*must* be a Texas wizarding school.  If California gets 2 schools ... 
Texas should have at least one after all.
