Here's a pretty good place to start:

Besides what is on that site, I'd add Coopers in downtown Round Rock.
All these places will sell you meat by the pound, feel free to order just a slice or two of brisket and a single sausage link, etc if you have several stops to make and need to save some room. And skip the sides: you're not coming all the way from Canada to fill up on cole slaw. If you must have sauce, get it on the side, and use it only after trying the meats dry.
And enjoy!
