..What kind of soil should you have to begin with? I got this Texas dry soil...

Will your soil stick together when wet? If so, you're good to go. If not, try slowing the water flow by lining the inside of your planting hole with a few torn up pieces of cardboard first. The cardboard will last long enough to get your plant established, but will eventually decompose and disappear. Using as much compost as possible will also help with dry soil issues.
