The next five eclipses are:
Five is the theoretical maximum number of solar eclipses in one calendar year; generally 4 partial eclipses and one total or annular eclipse. This configuration happens about every 200 years or so. Interestingly, there will be four solar eclipses in 2011; all will be partial eclipses, visible (if at all) only from polar regions. The last time there were five solar eclipses in a year was in 1935; the next time will be in 2206.
it's quite rare, but it's possible to have no lunar eclipses at all in a year, if the geometry between the Earth, Moon and Sun doesn't quite work out. The maximum possible number, again VERY rare, is five. Typically, we have two lunar eclipses per year.
Not in our lifetimes. There will be several partial or annular eclipses visible from Texas in the 21st Century, but there will be no total eclipses visible in Texas within the next 100 years.
It varies. During the 100 years of the 20th Century (1901 - 2000), there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones, for an average of about 2.3 per year. Any one year may have 2 - 5 of each.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
There are generally between two and five solar eclipses every year. Half or so will be partial or penumbral eclipses, and half of the rest will be annular, meaning that about one quarter of all solar eclipses are total. In 2011, there are four partial solar eclipses. The first was on January 4; the next will be on June 10.

The total number of eclipses each year does not exceed seven: typically, there are a maximum of five solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses in a given year. This number can vary slightly due to particular celestial alignments.
According to Kosmos Himmelsjahr 2010, it seems that the next solar eclipses are on Jan. 4, 2011, June 1, 2011, and July 1, 2011. All of these are partial eclipses - no total solar eclipses in 2011. You can view the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Page, at the link below.
There are most often two lunar eclipses each year (see the link below for a timetable). In 2013 the lunar eclipses will not be very dramatic.

it happens almost every ten years so if u don't get to see it this year than there is always a decade till the next one

There are generally two solar eclipses per year. The maximum ever is five; the minimum is zero, as in 2011.
