In the late fall, you want to plant GREEN vegetables in North or East Texas. Think Green.
Cabbage does very well during the winter. So does Broccoli or any of the greens (spinach, kale, etc...). Root vegetables also do well over the winter here in Texas. Anything that doesn't flower and produce a "fruit" (like a melon, squash, tomato, cucumber, eggplant, etc...). I like to plant turnips and radishes, but I enjoy the greens as much as using the actual turnip or radish bulb. Green Onion also does well in the Texas winters, provided the winter isn't too harsh.
If you want to start a garden in early Fall and get a harvest in before the first freeze, you can start with planting quick growing vegetables in mid August. You can get in a good harvest of beans, peas, okra and other things as an early Fall planted crop, harvest in November while the weather is still warm.

Excellent info! When would be the suggested time to plant broccoli and kale?
Late September or October is good for planting broccoli and kale. Harvest in December and January.
There are maps on line showing what "zone" you are in. Then you can look specifically for when to plant anything in your zone.
