My fav perennials for shade: Larger plants that love the shade would be American Beautyberry and Turk's cap. Smaller would be cedar sage, pigeonberry, and all varieties of huechera (coral bells). They have a nice selection of leaf colors, check them out. I also love to use different varieties of thyme in my shady areas. Perennial ferns; wood fern, autumn ferns and japanese painted ferns are lovely. Also, do a google serach for texas perennials for shade and see what else you get.
