Maybe rust is not common in Texas but it is a 22 year old car. Has it been in Texas the whole time? Has it been dry the whole time? Crawl under the car and feel around above the pinch seam above the middle of the tank. Probably near the front, under the rear seats. Is there a build up of dirt? Is any of it wet? Does it smell of gas?
Please don't dismiss a a proven cause just because you don't think it could happen to you. Look first. Like I said, I had the very same symptoms you state and this was the cause I found after trying many other repairs. If it turns out to not be rust, great.
