Strictly in terms of convenience, I think something in the middle of the triangle created by 35, 45, and 10 would be even better. There's room to build and it's reasonably close to three large population areas. Perhaps a location next to the Brazos.An ideal situation would be off of 35 between DFW and Austin.
Weather-wise, I hate to admit it, but a park should be further south and closer to the gulf. Texas gets hit by more ice storms in winter than hurricanes in summer. South of the Red River counties, snow is a minimal concern, but sleet and freezing rain is quite common in winter. Between the hazards of walking and driving on sheets of ice, and the way people foolishly treat sleet and freezing rain as nothing to worry about, a location nearer to Houston makes more sense. They aren't immune to such winter weather by any means, but the likelihood of problematic icing is much lower.
Money-wise, Disney needs to revamp certain areas of WDW before they consider building something in Texas. And for this reason alone, I don't see a park in Texas anytime soon (sigh).
