Freedive certifications in TX other than lakes? Shore access to 60ft depth in TX? The answer is "no" unfortunately.
The coast is surrounded by a huge shelf of sediment dumped from Mississippi river and port of galveston (i guess) so there is no rocky drop-off like in CA. (see pic from google). The further S you get, the closer you are to the Blue Water. Even as far South as South Padre Island (S tip of TX), you need at least a small boat/panga to get to 60ft depth.
I have dived several of the lakes in Central TX, even took the course you're speaking of. The cold, dark silt-bottom lakes are um... interesting. There's a group of us that dive the shallower lakes (40-50') around Houston every weekend simply as an excuse to get wet. That said, we'll be traveling for future certifications.
