Ditto what sunedog said except I would not mulch the clippings. I have Bermuda and my next door neighbor has Meyer Zoysia. That grass is so thick, where would the clippings go! It does choke out the weeds... and is beginning to take over my Bermuda!

You can plug Zoysia, but it is available in sod as well.

I would be sure it can take the Texas heat. If not, then Bermuda would be a good second.
