They always say nothing good happens after dark. According to Only In Your State these are the most dangerous places to be in Texas after dark. I know many won't be surprised that one local  city made the list and a few others aren't far from here.

9.Corpus Christi:

At 5.4 per every 100,000 people, this tourist city has a higher murder rate than any surrounding city. This statistic makes it one of the most dangerous cities in Texas.

5. Houston:

It makes sense that Houston would make this list, given its large population, but the specifics might surprise you a bit. Although the city is ranked the third most dangerous place in Texas, it isn't for violent crime - it's for robbery. There are 233 robberies per every 100,000 people; compared to six murders per every 100,000 people.
