Thank you for your answers...I'm in Corpus Christi TX and the low tonight will be 63, I really don't want to kill the poor guy. I guess it'll be alright?

Yes it is. The Boston Fern may appear dead in the winter, but it will re-grow in the spring.

I leave mine outside in the fall until the temps are easily down to 40 with no ill effects at all, and I do have a couple of huge specimens.
