Default Grass for shady areas

I live in North Central Texas and I want to find a grass that will grow
under several oak trees. I have tried several types, but what I've tried
either will not come up at all, or dies soon afterwards if I don't water
every day in the summer heat. One area gets a lot of foot traffic from the
neighborhood kids. The other areas get no traffic at all.

Any suggestions?



Consider 'raising the crown' and 'thinning' the trees.

Consider something other than grass (ajuga, lamium, etc.)
