Welcome to the Swamp!
I remember well how it felt to have all that shining new gear and no firm plans to put it to use. I, too, certified in the fall, near what most folks call the end of 'dive season'. (Timeliner, you don't fall in this group...as do some others and you know who ya'll are!)
Hope you can find some dives soon. However, since you're looking at dives close to DFW, I'm guessing that you a)purchased a 7 mm suit or b)got a dry suit (but I sorta think not) or c)you have a huge tolerance for cold water. I'll be making a trip in January (no December weekends open), but even that will be to Balmorhea. Seventy degrees is about my cutoff for surface temps.
Have a great time and I hope you get some dives in soon. Again, welcome!

Welcome to the swamp. Let me know if you decide to come down Austin way for a Lake Travis dive.
thanks guys, I got my Certification through, UTA. That was the main reason I went ahead with the gear purchase so I would get in the water as much as possible.
Guba- Yes I went ahead and got a 7mm wet suit. Im thinking it should be enough for down here. I would say I have a pretty good tolerance to cold, I have been known to water ski with no wet suit in Jan on PK.
Mack- I might can make it down there, thats not to far of a drive.

Hey, if you can ski PK in winter you oughta be able to dive it, especially with a 7. Have fun and be sure to post a report.

I ditto what Mack says and let me know if you get to Austin area. I can be found quite often at Lake Travis Diving. Congratulations on your OW certification.
