Washington Leads U.S. Cities in Auto Accidents, Allstate Says - Bloomberg: "Washington had the most accident- prone drivers of any U.S. city for the third straight year, according to Allstate Corp., the biggest publicly traded U.S. auto insurer.
Washington’s drivers get in a collision every 5.1 years, meaning that they have a 96 percent higher chance of being in an accident than the average American driver, Allstate said today in a statement. Baltimore was second, with crashes every 5.6 years, or 79 percent higher than the national average. New York, the most populous U.S. city, ranked 159th, with drivers crashing about every eight years."

161. Houston, Texas
29.5% more likely 7.7
163 San Antonio, Texas
30.2% more likely 7.7
173. Dallas, Texas
35.2% more likely 7.4
So Texas doesn't quite lead the way - Washington is #193 - but they're doing pretty well, in a bad way.

Texas is right in there, though.
