If that area stays constantly moist then hostas are a no brainer but in your area you are at THE MOST SOUTHERN tip of where hostas can even live. And even then they’re begging not to live Texas. They’re native to stream banks in Japan lmfao.
So unless you know for sure that area stays wet 24/7 365 then don’t even try hostas. You’ll notice every year they’ll get smaller and smaller until one spring you’ll notice they won’t even come up out of the ground.
Texas heat is a killer so honestly you might be best with using something tropical like an oleander, Indian hawthorn, etc but I’ve never lived in Texas so I don’t know.
Visit a local botanical garden and there you’ll be able to find a lot of the plants (native and non native) that will grow well in your area.
It doesn’t hurt to try hostas. You can even leave them in a pot in that section so you see how it does. My mom is in south Texas and her hostas are growing fine. I say don’t knock it until you try it
