Fort Worth has a few of its own: Cutting Edge Haunted House and Boo at the Zoo. Cutting Edge claims to be the largest haunted house in the country, and very frightening. Boo at the Zoo is totally the opposite. A lot of family-friendly fun, candy stations, and stage shows throughout the zoo.
In Austin, go see the Nightmare Factory or run downtown for the 6th Street Halloween. The Nightmare Factory is for the serious thrill-seeker, with maze-like walkways.

Elsewhere in the state is the family-style hosting of Six Flags over Texas in Arlington, Terror on the Bayou in Jefferson, and Nightmare on Grayson in San Antonio. All offer varying levels of thrill, so everyone from children to kids-at-heart can find something to do. Go get your fun on in Texas.
