OfftheKuff
A popular Texas political blog that has also been doing posting on local relief efforts. "Kuff" organizes his posts by category, so this link will take you to the "Hurricane Katrina" section. You can access the rest of the blog from that section by clicking the "Charles Kuffner" link at the bottom of each post and then clicking "Main" at the top of the page to go to the home page.

Brazosport News
Site of famed Texas blogger Banjo Jones. Like Kuff, Banjo is not exclusively blogging the Katrina aftermath but has some great posts listed on Katrina. In his most famous post to date on Katrina entitled "Open The Astrodome" Banjo first proposed moving the NOLA refugees from the Superdome to the Astrodome before local officials decided to do it.

Full Disclosure

A top ten U. S. blog. Though Malkin normally covers politics and news, she has devoted her blog completely to Katrina since Sunday. Extensive links.
