If I remember right, there's also one in the series for coastal Texas, 
which is a little confusing on directions in places unless they've 
revised it since I used it some years ago, but is also excellent. ABA 
may have added a west Texas guide by now, too.

Both guides are first-rate, and as Bill says, there are a number of 
uncanny bits where they recommend very specific locations behind X 
building or whatever for a particular species, and even years after they 
were written, you go there and there are the birds.  We found 
white-collared seed eaters in an obscure corner behind a library that way.

Dunno where you're headed in Texas, but the Rio Grande Valley and the 
southern coast are a fabulous place to go in mid-winter.  South Texas is 
particularly delicious raptor territory.  I found the Aransas refuge on 
the coast a particularly magical place, and just loaded with great birds.
