Putting in my two cents. Was thinking about Palm Springs, California. Palm Springs is close to the Arizona folks, the California folks, don't know about how far Texas is. Palm Springs is on the border to Arizona in the southeastern part of California. There is a nice hotel that welcomes furkids, I believe cats or dogs and is quite reasonable. There is a big grassy park in the back of the hotel. Palm Springs does have an enclosed large Dog Park for large dogs and a small enclosed park for small dogs. There is a sky tram that you can ride from the desert floor to the top of the mountains. There are many restaurants reasonable to expensive. The airport is not far from the hotel. There is a huge, huge outlet mall about 15 or 20 minutes from the hotel. They have desert safaris that you can take riding out in jeeps. No matter when you decide or where you decide you should think about Spring Break, I don't know what it is in the East but the kids really go all out for it here with partying and drinking sometimes brawls.
April and May is a good time usually in the desert, it can get some hot but it's so dry you don't really feel it.
Anyway, just a thought!!!

P.S. The pictures of the hotel was in my post when I posted pictures from our vacation we took in October.
