There are several ABA districts in your area. Just look up American Bass Anglers and you can pick the derbies you want to go fish. They do a random draw for non-boaters. That will allow you to fish with several different anglers and learn more about TX waters.

You should join the Farmersville bass club if you have a boat. We are a pretty small club with some pretty competitive fishing.

Why not look up some ponds on Google maps and do some bank fishing? You can catch 2-5lb bass from the bank easy.
I'm no pro, but you're welcome to join me on the weekends in Irving. Feel free to PM me.

@Lee Finlay... That was the first thing I did when I moved, and since unfortunately did not get a single bite. I realize that there are not many natural reservoirs/ponds as there are up north, but that is why I joined the forum to get some more tips on where to go. I tried hitting up Lake Lavon near the dam site, but it was overcrowded with anglers going for hybrids/crappie. I'm more interested in targeting those Texas largemouth, so I'll definitely send you a PM to discuss more.

Only in the last week or so has the bite picked up. I'm not surprised you got skunked. I'd love to hear about fishing up north. I grew up here and thought we had plenty of ponds.

Thank you all for showing me that true Southern hospitality. Makes me feel like I made a real good decision in moving down here.

My niece with Ebby Halliday tells me that 10,000 people a month are moving into the DFW area. Now you know why.
