My experience has been that searching http://powertochoose.org/ for the correct combination of term and average kWh, and limiting the list to providers with 4-star or greater ratings has yielded satisfactory results.

My daughter recently moved in to her own place and we found Discount Power for her... They had some issues with getting signed up online (the powetochoose discount was not being added correctly) so we called their office, waited less than 1 minute on hold and were so impressed with the CS person that I actually sent them an email about it.

A few days later, I was notified that my current contract with Yep Energy was sold to the same Discount Power...
They transitioned easily and alI I had to do was log in to the new account and re-sign up for paperless billing and automatic payment.

IIRC, Texas has a 14(?) day window at the end of a power contract where you can switch without incurring the early termination fee. When I switched to Yep, since my price was going up on the new contract, I had them start service the day before the old contract ended, so, only 1 extra day at the higher rate. It was simple, honestly.

I'd have run my search for you but don't know your zip... It's easy to run the search at the link above..
