You're in Texas.  Why not just a 50/50 mix of salt and pepper Franklin's style?

Smoking meats forum has a shit ton of recipes, also that 50/50 salt and pepper mix may work for franklin but its not because its simple and good, its the quality of briskets he uses, he gets them from creekstone and they are prime angus briskets, very high grade of beef.

I've smoked both choice and prime and it makes a difference. But the rub doesn't penetrate the meat so it's not going to impact the quality of the meat.

I use Big Ron's Hint of Houston, Oakridge rubs are really good, so is PlowBoys rubs. I personal cook at 325 and wrap with foil when my bark is set, but I always recomend people to start at 275f its a great middle ground and it doesn't take 15+ hrs to cook something :)

Good Luck and if you have any specific question of panicking when cooking PM/email me I've cooked literately thousands and thounsands of briskets :)

Simply Marvelous Cherry Rub

it's not cheap, but it's my favorite rub for brisket.

Sugar does not belong on a brisket.

it seems "too simple"
but its all a process
his videos are pretty good

the part about picking out a good brisket to start with is very true
lots of briskets out there with fat in all the wrong places  
I like to trim my own ETA: they are not prime or choice cuts
just lots of digging in the cheap briskets pile
