I don't know if the organic garden centers stock cold frames, but I'd bet they could order one for you. Check the suppliers under Organic Sources at the DirtDoctor.com link above. I would think places such as Northhaven Gardens, Redenta's, and Rohde's would be good candidates, although those are a ways from where you live. It may be that the short time cold frames are used/necessary in North Texas might lead you to build one yourself. You can find plans for different variants on the Web.

Have you thought about checking saalvage yards for old wood frame windows that could be set on top of the frame on a raised bed? This would act as a cold frame and could easily be removed after the cool season.
