Australian Tree Fern

I've got an Australian tree fern in a two gallon pot. It's doing very well, from a little Home Depot small fry six months ago to a bushy three feet high and wide. How do they fair in the winters in Dallas? What special care will it need?

Thanks.

Did it not come with a tag? They require shade and lots of water. I would keep it inside in a bright location in winter.
