Just a suggestion. I'm in a no shade garden too. I planted a slow growing Maple and a fast growing Crepe myrtle. I did the same thing with the mixed hedge. That way you can have a tree without waiting forever or be stuck with a dead short lived tree down the line.

I planted a red oak and a chinquapin oak about 12 years ago and they are both very nice shade trees now. The canopy of the Red Oak is less dense, so the shade is more mottled. I also planted a Monterey Oak (also called White or Mexican Oak) about 4 years ago, and it has grown by leaps and bounds. It is a really pretty tree. I like it because, like live oaks, it doesn't lose its leaves till March when the new leaves push out the old leaves.

Since you're getting some shade grown, consider also foliage color. You may want to get a tulip poplar with its gold foliage to contrast with the reds of maples.

Some years ago, there was a tree on the property behind me, about 30 ft. tall, that formed spectacular, bright pink, tulip shaped blooms in early spring. I had supposed it must be a "tulip tree." I eventually learned that it was in fact a saucer magnolia. Seems odd that they're not more widely planted in Central Texas. A real conversation piece, when in bloom.

Another neighbor planted a couple of Monterrey Live Oaks about 10 years ago, and they have grown remarkably fast. He never waters anything, so I suppose they must thrive in arid conditions.
