Narrative:
On a flight from hou to uvalde, tx, I had climbed to 14500' RNAV direct. I was about 50 NM east of uvalde, monitoring ZHU but not in contact with them, when I started a descent into my destination. My course took me through the randolph 2-A MOA. I saw 2 fgt's about 1 mi off my right wing wbound. They passed me by about 2 mi and made a left 180 degree turn back toward me and passed at the same altitude, bout 600' off my right wing. I have flown that route may times before and never saw any traffic, and on that morning I was lazy and didn't contact center for flight following, if I had this would not have happened.
