Maybe you should print up some small (4x8 or 5x9) cards to post in the photo shops around town, mainly Houston Cam Xchange, Hou Cam Co-Op, and that Pro Camera Center on Beall.

maybe print some ads like steelsun said, but 8.5 by 11 and at the bottom put
texasphotoforum.com vertical across the bottom and cut it so people can tear off the web address so they dont forget

Another Idea is to get some patches or stickers made up with the URL on them for members. You could hand them out at our next meetups. Then we could put them on our photobags as a form of advertising.
