Re: No Parks
Hmm... with your criteria, your best bet are National Forest/BLM lands, though you will see plenty of signs of civization -- logging roads, at the very least, and power lines. Texas is near the bottom of the nation in terms of land that's set aside for parks and recreation vs. being held in private use (farms, ranches, etc.) or commercial development.
I think you're being a little short-sighted to rule out ALL parks -- that dismisses Big Bend National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park as though they're akin to a 33 acre suburban park. Take a look at a road map and topo map for both parks... plenty of ways to plan a route that keeps you in the heart of nature with minimum exposure to 'civilization' (but bear in mind, if YOU can get there, so can the rest of civilization -- at least, all the other members of it that have similar means).
