Jet Ski column rule: on the water from a 76°F high; wetsuit weather from 66°F; off the water below.
By that rule a personal watercraft at Houston has 7 months on the water (April to October), 3 of wetsuit weather and 2 off the water. By that rule a personal watercraft at Dallas-Fort Worth has 7 months on the water (April to October), 2 of wetsuit weather and 3 off the water.
Texas winters are mild but not frost-free: even Dallas-Fort Worth records about 29.2 nights at or below 32°F, so drain and protect the personal watercraft before the first cold front.

2 at Houston (November to March) and 3 at Dallas-Fort Worth (November to March), plus 3 and 2 months of wetsuit weather.
