I love the idea of being two miles away from roads, cars, etc, out in the country...
But it is June, in Texas -- am I crazy?!?

Crazy is relative. Have you camped during the Texas summers? If so, you'll have a better idea what you'll be up against. You won't need a sleeping bag -- we've ended up leaving ours in the car or sleeping (stickily) on top of them on humid summer nights.
I haven't backpacked yet, but have done my time in Texas summers. I tend to avoid camping in summer now. Guess I'm getting older, though I don't think I'd pair that with "wiser" just yet.
