where do you live in Texas, I know the Aviation in the Houston and Austin area pretty well, and now it`s the right time to start training up there.
200$$$/hour????
Not even flight safety charges this much....
The average FBO in Texas will have a C172P for less then 100 dollars/hour and 20-30 more dollars for an S or SP model or a PA28-161/181 , CFI you can find some for 25 other for 40-50 dollars/hour. But if you want to get it done fast go to a 141 school.
if you live in the North east of the state, try to look at places in kansas you can get really cheap training there, look at this place
