I don't know Texas growing conditions, but here's a tip I learned on another site. If you still have the plants, and any part of the stem is unaffected by borers, you can bury the stem and it may grow new roots.

Plenty of time for zucchini and other summer squashes! You probably still have time for a wide variety of winter squash, too. Look for the varieties that mature in 85 to 95-days.
And Tanya's right: You can cover unaffected lengths of stem with soil and still harvest fruit from those re-rooted sections.
To help control the borers: Cover young plants with row covers until they begin to set flowers. Also try wrapping lower stems with aluminum foil to prevent the moths from laying eggs.

There is still time to plant new squash. I would do a little research on what type of borer you have and get some food safe pest control products.
I hope this helps!
