That's where I'd go when I lived in Houston! Best field herping to be had in the area, great for evening walks. I lived near I-10 and hwy 6 throughout high school, probably not too far from where you are?
Plenty of trails to hike. During the right times of the year you'll see more copperheads and cottonmouths than you know what to do with, so be careful out there and watch where you step
I found they just love to sun themselves right on the walking paths.
