My Pineywoods cross cattle have simliar coloration... with spots added.
White Park cattle questions - Cattle
The Pineywoods breed has had centuries to get used to Gulf coast conditions so I imagine they'd be well adapted to the area. Alabama has the most Pineywoods breeders of the whole breed registry, so if you are in Alabama, you probably wouldn't have far to go to get one.

Disclaimer- Not all Pineywoods are as beautiful as mine.

Maria, didn't know Pineywoods also come in polled. Thought they were all horned like Longhorns.

Mine are cross bred. The heifer shown is half Lowline Angus. The polled gene is dominant.

This cow is half Longhorn and half Pineywoods:

This is her daughter at 2 years old. She's 3/4 Pineywoods. The new calf is the one shown above two years later.

Since the breed association doesn't recognize percentages, I figured there wasn't much point going all the way to the Gulf Coast for a Pineywoods bull. So, we have Lowline crosses.... but I love the black points and spotty look. We get black ones half the time and they usally go into the freezer.

This is a Lowline/Pineywoods bull calf we are keeping this year.
