As a native born West Texan, I strongly suggest you plant a good
Bermuda. Bermuda is very drought tolerant, uses less water than most grasses
(like St Augustine). The cons: some times hard to control from invading
flower beds and goes dormant and looks dead in the winter. Some ( myself
included) do not mind a dead looking winter lawn.

Good Luck and have fun

Looking for some advice about my lawn has i have little experience. We
moved into this house recently and would like to have a nice lawn. We
live in west texas, so it's hot and dry. The garden receives very
little shade as we're south facing.

I'm attaching an image to show it's current condition. Apparantly the
soil is pretty decent for this area. All i've really done so far is
kill off most of the weeds. Should we be starting anew, tilling etc?
Thanks.
