Welcome to Texas! As far as homebrew shops, Homebrew HQ in Richardson is a great shop with good selection and knowledgeable staff. Sorry to see such negativity from Mongrel and a few others, but for most cities, that are "dry" you can still buy beer and wine. Just not liquor. I live in Denton, (North of DFW) and there are quite a bit of craft beers available at different locations. Maybe it's because liquor isn't available in Denton, but there are actually some good barleywines, Imperial Stouts, and IIPA's to be found.
Anyway, best of luck and once again, Welcome to Texas!
