If only Joe Harrison Motor sports in San Antonio hadn't given up Triumphs. I bought my last pre-Triumph bike there four summers ago, and they were Honda & Triumph dealer at the time. They gave up Triumphs years ago. But, in retrospect, I think that's what first got me lookin' at 'em.
Anyway, IMO there are three things to consider. Proximity, dealer service, and lastly their selection, (because most dealers will locate what you want anyway). Now naturally you would like your dealer to be right down the street. But you my friend, well you got a problem there. Since Joe Harrison no longer sells Triumph, then I'd say Houston and Austin pretty much tie for first in proximity.
Now, I can't speak for any Houston area dealers, but I did purchase mine from Lone Star in Austin. Once I got past the usual horrid sales ritual (you'll find anywhere), I've had nothing but pleasureful dealings with their parts and especially their service departments. They're kinda small and don't have a great selection. But I do see on their website that they have (2) blue scramblers still in stock.
LOOK. They've moved (4) over the summer, because they had (6) when I bought my T100 there in early May.
