We plan to send next January-March in south Texas visiting Santa Ana and Laguna Atascosa refuges in particular. I dislike bugs, mosquitoes in particular. Can some of you snowbirds tell me how bad the bugs typically are at that time of year? Never been in that part of the country before.

"Bugs" are not bad at all for a number of reasons, however, location does have some effect here. The closer you are to water and trees the more you will see.
Things that reduce bugs in the valley.
It is dry here.......... not desert, but the place does not get a lot of rain.
It is breezy/windy on many days and what bugs there are blow away.
Much of the valley is urban which reduces places for them to breed.
There is almost no open standing water.

Very few bugs in Mission where we stay. Mostly ants. In 4 years in the valley I have seen 3 mosquitoes. Heaven compared to MN in the Summer. There are a few areas near stagnant water where people complain of mosquitoes but from our experience I would say there are way less bugs in the Valley than most other places we have been.
