I, too, live in central Texas - Cedar Park to be exact. I want to grow cilantro too but it seems we are nearing the end of the growing season and it's only mid-March. I don't know if you are on Facebook but there is a group called "Central Texas Backyard Gardeners" you can join. They are very knowledgeable about our specific area.
I just planted 3 cilantro plants and from what they tell me I am 1) at the end of the growing season 2) plant it in the Fall 3) when it bolts let the seeds fall where they may and you will get new plants in the Fall. No answers yet on hy the nurseries seem to think this is a Spring plant in our area if it bolts as soon as it gets hot.
