As a former Texan, all I can say is August is NOT camping season in Texas!
Seriously, be sure your A/C is in good working order. Unfortunately, when we lived in Texas (Dallas area) we tended to head east to the piney woods for our camping trips (can you say shade?). But we had no A/C on our popup then so camping was pretty much limited to Easter to Memorial Day - and we favored sites close to lakes with lots of trees.
North of Ft. Worth is mostly flat with limited trees, but there are some new lakes there that might provide some possibilities. Hopefully someone who lives in that area now or who has camped there can give you some recommendations.
I know Texas does a great job on its state parks so that would likely be a good choice if there is one close to where you want to be.
Good luck!

And now I claim to be a Coloradoan.
