Texas is the bible belt in the USA and the best way to make good friends who will not take advantage of you is to attend a local church. Stay away from bars. The men are pigs there.

The local chamber of commerce has info on group activties for the town you live to meet people too.

I'm from San Antonio and there are great churches all over Texas from all religions.

Enjoy your stay,

I have lived in Austin, Texas and also later on North Padre island near Corpus Christi. Austin is a high tech mecca + administrative center = lots of professionals, most of them geeks, most of them young + a lot of students (4 universities).
Never attended any church, but friends were not difficult to find: you'd find people at your appartment's pool or gym, at clubs etc.

Making friends is highly dependent on what you'll be moving here for. If you're coming to study at university, it's almost impossible not to make friends. College campuses offer a variety of chances to interact with fellow students.

Hobbies are another great way to meet people. Large cities often have groups that meet regularly. Dallas, for instance, has ballroom dance clubs, adult sport teams, cooking classes, etc.

I'd avoid bars and craigslist. If you're not religious, then avoid churches, too.
