Unless you're planning to play in private and/or illegal games, the only thing you'll do in Texas on a poker trip is drive, and drive, and drive.
If you're leaving in January, and planning on taking two different routes, then I'd suggest a northern route outbound and come back on a southern route, to reduce the risk of being stranded in the middle of nowhere by a major winter storm.
I'm just a couple of hours from Clovis and last I heard there was no poker there, just slot machines.

Yeah, I was interested in stopping in Clovis just because there is this town in central california named Clovis which is close to where I grew up. Yes, random.
This
link shows two poker places in particular. I have not varified yet that they are still in business. Maybe going through Dallas would be better, then that's probably around 4 hours from Shreveport in Louisiana... I'll look at the map later this week and make some adjustments per everyone's comments.
