It depends on a few things .....

Where you are

When you ride

How you ride

So kind of obvious but if you ride all year round you need a few different sets of kit. Some good for hot days, some for rainy days.
If you get cold weather then you're going to want layers, depends where in texas you are there is quite a lot of it and quite a range of temperatures.
Don't buy cheap crap, go for the best you can manage, it'll last and it'll work.

I've got a range of kit that means I can go out in anything from 14 to low 90's F and survive. My main jacket cost about $400, my boots $250,
