Southeast Texas weed? Not dying...

zone 8a no longer SETX

So, basically with some spot Weed-b-gone and Atrazine I can selectively kill the weeds in my lawn. However, this one weed seems to be taking over and Im not sure if it's just more resilient or I need a new chemical. I'm in the Houston, Texas area if it helps.

Geranium carolinianum

I get these too. It's really easy to pull up.

Ok thanks... I checked and it looks like Atrazine can effect it, maybe I just did not spray enough?

To pull them up.... maybe but the yard is quite covered with them so I will try a spray for now.

Mowing should take care of it, or raking. Very weakly rooted plants.
