Victorianesque re-enactment has never really taken off as a concept here in the States, except in small enclaves. I found some folks who enjoy it through a local Victorian Mystery bookstore. I'm not close enough to help you with contact info--Texas won't do you much good, and our group is almost diaphanous, it is so loose and ghostly at times, and we haven't even thought about reaching out to see if there are other groups connected to other groups.
The closest you may get is Civil War Re-enactment or Plantation Living Re-enactment. I think there are a couple of groups that may not be too far away that you could hook up with. This is the closest that I know of, and they're in Michigan--it is a pretty new area of re-enactment here, and tends to be sorely overlooked, perhaps because it is more home/social and significantly more heavily invested in manners and protocol than battle related (I've noticed that many of the successful re-enactment groups seem to thrive more around the war/battle elements than around the social elements. It seems that many of the social elements are pulled in to allow significant others to participate in the companion's current interest in wars of every shape and size).
