I should mention that leaving Houston, I'd take I-10 to San Antonio and then US 90 on the west side of San Antonio. You'll have to get on I-10 again to get around El Paso however.
The traffic on i-10 past El Paso is not too heavy.
There is a really nice rest stop on US-90 at the Pecos River that allows overnight camping. It's really cool because the Pecos has cut a rather large channel as it merges into the Rio Grande. You will run into a lot of boarder patrol stops on I-90 since you are within 30 miles of Mexico, so be prepared for that.
