There may have been others in Houston and Galveston, or maybe Galveston was under Houston. Another possibility is that Houston (and possibly Galveston) was under New Orleans. One document seems to indicate that.
Here are a couple files that show that Anthony Fertitta was a CI in touch with Biaggio Angelica of Houston. Angelica and his group were under Vincent Genna of Louisiana:

Marcello sent some guys here in the 60s to setup a wire room out of a hotel, but they got arrested pretty quickly. Texas is a different world than Louisiana.
I watched a behind the scenes about it and they were talking how it was true there were Italian gangsters in town but not really Italian mafia so the groups just basically killed eachother off just like in the movie.
