There are a few ancient Calderas in Texas. Texas isn't near any 'hotspots' or tectonic plate boundaries, so it's not volcanically active.

The Calderas are in the western part of the state and are about 40 million years old or so...

One in particular is the Buckhorn Caldera near Ft. Davis, Texas.

Are craters larger than calderas?

Calderas are typically larger than most impact craters, which are formed by meteorite impacts.

No. Hot spots are located under many, but not most volcanoes. Many calderas are associated with subduction zones. When the ground in a caldera rises it is called a resurgent dome, not a hot spot.
