Welcome, Doze!

Check your fish regulations. I think tilapia are illegal in Texas. At least certain strains are.

Thanks. I've been looking around and it seems they are, or at least require a license to possess, save for Mozambique tilapia. "Mozambique Tilapia is the only species of tilapia that is legal to stock in private impoundments in Texas without a permit"

Tilapia are fine here in Texas. Overton Fishery sells them, although they are a little far (ok - a lot far) from Austin.
