Texas public land?

A change in position at my job may force a move to the Dallas/ft worth area. I’m having a hard time figuring out if hunting public is doable, I know Texas is vastly private and leases are the name of the game. Is it feasible to hunt public or am I stuck shelling out money for a lease? The new job comes with a raise so may be able to slide a lease by my wife, but would like to hunt public if possible. Any info is appreciated.
