Just a personal experience from running one half without POT and one with at DIS. (I've never seen it really matter anywhere else FWIW). So in 2016, Wine and Dine was my first half and I had no POT because in the Houston area, if you don't run the half in January at the Houston Marathon or the Woodlands Half in March, there is nothing over the summer and I was not up to 13 miles yet. I did a 10-miler in early OCT, but too late.
I'm in houston - there are other half marathons here besides the houston and woodlands one - there is the bayou half series (http://www.bchalfseries.com/). There are also several 10 milers that can also be used in place of the half (https://texas10series.com/) - though not all of the 10 milers are in the immediate houston area but a bunch are. We also have the Space City 10 miler. And there is also the Bridge Series that includes two 10ks, and finishes with a half marathon in November (usually).
