Cold is not the issue with AGM, however heat is AGM batteries do not do well in very warm climates, you being in Texas you should consider reverting to wet cell.
Personally Wet is the way to go, venting is very easy and you can also add a automated watering system very easily. And AGM does not have near the life of a maintained flooded battery.
Lithium while a good solution they should be cooled in hot climates but the bigger issue is unless you plan to keep your RV for 15-20 years the cost is a loser. Owning a Tesla's for 6 years (on 3rd one) I have great appreciation for Lithium batteries but I also appreciate the safegards built into the Tesla to protect the batteries and their thermal management (both under load and while charging)
