Answer 1

Native plants are indigenous to your area. It's important to plant natives, because they are well adapted to your local climate, so they require less water and care to survive than an imported exotic. They are also more resistant to native insect pests and diseases, and more attractive to beneficial native wildlife, like birds and butterflies.

Texas has some pretty active native plant societies and other organizations:
