In Texas there's three kinds of food:  barbeque, Tex-Mex (and real Mexican food too) and everything else. Below you'll find links to all three.  You'll see that I've avoided the fast food chains.  There's Burger Kings and Taco Bells all over the place.  I'm pointing you to the smaller establishments.  If you've been to a place or know of a place that isn't listed here, feel free to let me know.  There's a lot of good places to eat in Texas.
