Howdy ! You're in luck !
Texas World Speedway (90 minutes north of Houston) has regular HPDEs plus regularly scheduled club and sanctioned events. Great road course (2.9 miles).
Motorsport Ranch is less than an hour south of Houston too.

There is Texas World Speedway in College Station, about 1.5 hrs away, which has monthly events. Check their website at www.texasworldspeedway.com. Its a great track.
NASA has an upcoming event at MSR Houston, a private track just south of town, in about 2 weeks. Check the NASA Texas Region website for details. There is also Harris Hill in San Marcos, http://harrishillroad.com/, about 2-2.5 hrs away, which will now have regular performance driving events run by the former chief steward at Texas World Speedway. And there is Grand Sport Speedway, http://grandsportspeedway.com, down in Hitchcock, Tx, which is about halfway between Houston and Galveston. They have regular track days available too. Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for the info everyone! Looks like I have some good options. I miss being so close to Road America, but the fact that I don't have to park the car for 4 months each year and still have access to good tracks makes up for it 
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

The Driver's Edge, as Tom mentioned, is running MSR-H (45 minutes south of downtown) this weekend. Come by if nothing else! I'll be in the black C6Z in the red group.
They're also doing events at MSR-Cresson (~5 hours north, it's SW of Arlington) in February and at TWS in March. If you've never been to TWS before, it's FUN and FAST. Top speeds in stock motored C6Zs on R compounds in the 160+ range.
TWS also has a Motorsports club. There are a LOT of driving clubs around, and most of the other marque-related car clubs are open to all.
Not much of a Corvette racing club presence in town, though I think there are 7(?) Corvette clubs around town. Most all wax and shine.
