I don't think you need heat for adult GF in the winter. You live in Texas so I'm sure they'll do fine as long as you have some shelter for them to get out of inclement weather.
Give them a place to roost high off the ground in the evening. Coyotes love snacking on them. When you first get them keep them in a pen for about a month until they recognize it as their home. After that release them and they will patrol your property looking for bugs. They make good "watchdogs" making a ruckus when something strange appears. They are great roasted 
Yep a coop with a 100 watt light bulb to keep them warm if they are keets still.
