You should realize the you are fighting a difficult battle. The American Orchid Society recommends that they not be grown by anyone in states on the Gulf of Mexico. It is just too hot to get them to flower.

Indoors you are not going to have enough light and outside the temps are just too high. I have seen people try to cool them by watering with ice cubes, but it is a lot of work and there are hundreds of thousands of easier orchids to grow in Texas.

Good luck but if it does not flower do not blame yourself. The seller really should not be selling them in Texas.
