Texas weather. I know this depends on a lot of factors but asking anyway.

Three overnight lows this weekend will be into the high 20’s with the daytime mid 40’s and low 50’s. Possible some rain but scattered and low chances. At a Park with full hookups.

Should I break out the never used heated hose or just let the sink faucets drip overnight???
 
unhook hose. No need to let faucet drip.

Fill your tank and store the hose. Dripping faucets does not prevent water lines from freezing. It can help to reduce (not prevent) the chance that a line will burst when it freezes. A pipe has to be flowing around 3 feet per second to not freeze down to near 0F. That is about 1.75 gallons/minute from a typical 1/2" pipe.
 
Almost the entire state is in a severe drought situation. Please use your heated hose or take the hose up.

Not sure what weather source you are using but as of 10am Friday, in northern Texas around Dallas/FtWorth there is forecast only one day to have a low of 30. I'd put 10-15 gal in the FW tank and turn all heaters on and take the hose and store it for the one night.
