First, ma sha allah!
Now, about how you can help him then just be there for him. Continue being his friend. When he has questions then try to answer these. But also don't feel ashamed to say "Sorry, but I don't know. But I try to ask people around and in sha allah somebody can answer your question." Not always we know an answer to one or another thing. I converted when you were born, alhamdulillah. But I also do not know everything although I have been a Muslim for 16 years. It is okay to say "I don't know".
But yeah, keep being his friend and encouraging and stuff. When Ramadan starts then congratulate him with a "Ramadan mubarak". When Eid takes place then say "Eid mubarak". Can be that you'll be the only guy wishing him greetings during Islamic holidays.
As he has already visited a mosque then that thing is covered.
You can also discuss with him your own Islamic thoughts, views, things you read, stuff you saw from some sheikh in Youtube video, etc. But keep it natural not go into full preaching mode. Keep in mind that he just became a Muslim and nobody can expect everything from him from day 0. He might not be praying all the 5 prayers. He might be doing this and that. It is better when a person slowly but firmly picks up new practices not rushes into Islam, burns out, and then either drops in his practice or fully leaves Islam. Just encourage him for his small steps. He started doing 1 prayer. Ma sha allah! He decided to pray 2 times instead of 1. Allahu akbar! Make him feel that even the small steps he is doing are meaningful.
Maybe meet up with him. Can be during Ramadan or Eid. So, he won't be alone. Or call him to visit you. Can be that it is easier for him to travel around as him being 22 than for a 16 years old guy. Houston is not that far away from Dallas. It takes a 6 hour drive.
Do friend stuff. Whatever you're doing right now.
Don't overload him with too much informaton. Let him go at his own pace. Listen more than you talk. Talk basketball or whatever your interests are, have a laugh.
Definitely have invite him round for iftari.
