Manor, TX: when does the frost end?

Zone 9a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 02/20, roughly 176 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 12/03, roughly 291 days after the last spring frost.

Manor sits in USDA Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 14 weeks until Manor's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 02/20 isn't a guarantee

02/20 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 01/23 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/14 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
