General regional planning context (not project evidence)

This editorial context comes from broad state climate guidance, not from the customer or estimate record. Texas is categorized here as a hot summer / mixed climate (long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle). For general awning planning, independently verify product ratings for the regional wind exposure (high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf), UV load (high UV exposure most of the year), mounting surface, and local code requirements.
