The Carolina Wren is the most likely nesting wren species in North Texas. I am not aware of any preferences for direction of hole or height of nest box, altough they typically do not nest above 10 feet.
Carolina Wrens form life-long pair bonds. It may be that your box was in the range of a pair with a preferred nesting location, and they kept other wrens from moving in.
If you do get Carolina Wrens nesting, it takes about 12-16 days for the eggs to hatch and another 2 weeks or so for the young birds to fledge.
