Not gonna dunk on any Texan unless they specifically filibustered Hurricane Sandy relief.
Snow, cold and ice suck. Electric outages in the winter get scary quick. I feel you fam.

My one advice is to put a premium on keeping your feet warm, especially if your floors are uncarpeted. Wear thick socks or even double socks, but don't reduce circulation by wearing shoes all the time.
And if you're shoveling out of heavy snow, start at the end of the driveway. The heaviest, coldest, iciest snow will be there and gets miserable to move if you're already winded. And square your corners like you're digging a grave. You'll make better progress.
Rock salt is best but I doubt that's widely available. The salt in your kitchen will still work in a pinch to de-ice steps and walkways.
And if you have dogs keep an eye out for their paws, they'll start stepping very gingerly when they get cold. And now's a great time to suspend any rules you may have about them getting on the furniture.
If your kids are out playing in the snow make doubly sure they stay back from the roads. Plow trucks are like freight trains in terms of visibility and ability to stop/swerve.
