My electric bill runs $300/mth. We dont even use the AC...Houston?

I agree with most everybody else, except that no one has looked into your usage. Do you have an electric stove? What about hot water tank? Do you leave your computer on all the time. Do you have a second fridge that is in your garage or somewhere else where it is particularly hot. All of these things will catch up with you on the bill. And of course, you will want to look into cost effectiveness of generating some of your own power. Your local utility company should be able to provide you with a list of competitive energy suppliers. If its any consolation, my electric bills are $120 a month in winter, 200 a month in summer, and my winter gas bills have been over $600 in 1 month. All of our appliances, minus the gas fired boiler, are electric, so our lone heat source uses all that gas by itself. If you dont find an error or other billing problem, its probably a combination of things that everyone has mentioned.
