You are around 3 hour drive from San Antonio as well, which I prefer. The Riverwalk and the Alamo are in San Antonio, beats anything you will find in Houston. Lots of outlet shopping at San Marcos which is minutes away from San Antonio. The German town New Braunfels is just minutes away as well, they even have an Octoberfest and all the festivities that go along with that. Guadalupe River runs through New Braunfels, river tubing is very popular. Scenery is totally different than Houston as well. Gruene (pronounced green) is just minutes from there as well and is the historic capital of Texas, antiques galore.
Personally, I would spend a couple of days in the San Antonio area if you are that close.
And as someone else did, I would recommend Galveston as well.
