I assume that there are no leaks anywhere. Like 91gtturbo said, it could be the water pump. The way I check the water pump is to take the belt and fan off and spin the water pump pulley. If it does not spin pretty freely, the bearing in it is probably about to go. It will not spin and just keep spinning, but believe me you will know it if the bearing is bad. Did you ever check that fan clutch yet?

There aren't any paper wrappers, leaves, etc on the outside of the radiator are there?

Have you tried not running the a/c to see if it makes a difference? I know how hot it gets in Texas, but it is worth a try. We all know how hard it is to turn that damn compressor. LOL.
