Red Dirt and Sandy Loam
The Handbook of Texas describes Cherokee County's surface as sandy and clay loams with alluvial creek bottoms, and says "Redlands" cover about a fourth of the county. Sandy loam drains fast but shifts under a tire; red clay holds water and moves with it. Neither one is a base by itself. Before forms go up we dig out soft spots, bring in stone and compact it, and set the slab with a fall so water runs off instead of soaking the edges.

Lake Lots
Lake Jacksonville sits about 3 miles southwest of town off U.S. 79. Lots near the water often slope toward it, so a patio or walk there gets planned around runoff first: where rain enters the slab, where it leaves, and whether a short curb or a drain is needed to keep it from washing out the base underneath.
Hot Summers, Hard Freezes
TSHA puts July's average high in Cherokee County at 94°F. Wikipedia notes Jacksonville set its all-time record low during the February 2021 cold snap. We pour early on summer mornings, keep the surface damp while it cures, and watch the forecast in winter so fresh concrete isn't left to freeze.
