There are only three areas I can think of in south Texas that would somewhat fit this very general description of being in south Texas, and along the Rio Grande, AND near a lake.
1. Del Rio.
2. Laredo.
3. Down a little further south of Laredo, at Falcon Lake/Zapata.
Unfortunately, a growing number of people seem to be losing interest in residing so close to not only the southern border, but through major crossing areas, so I don't know what this will mean for selling.
Best wishes, but yes, as the others have already commented, you might consider providing additional details, not likely for the three of us, but for others who will stumble upon your post and perhaps take an interest.

Hey Betty, out of curiosity, whereabouts (just roughly, no need to be specific) do you live down in south Texas? I've wanted to check the area out more just to finally make it down into that area of my home state and see it all a lot better, but I haven't been able to put together the right type of work trip for a week or so to give myself an "excuse" to go down there, haha. I live up in east Texas. One of these days I'll make it down there..........Been to north, central, hill country, and far southwest Texas (Big Bend area), but not south Texas, or not further south than a little south of San Antonio anyway.
I still look at land, acreage (5-15 acres, nothing crazy, especially not at currently wild prices), and fixer upper houses all down through there from time to time, just for fun. Boy howdy it's warm down there though.......I looked at a fixer upper in Hebbronville (I'm more of a small town person), but didn't end up driving down that far to give it a look in person.
