Here is the list from the recent Master Gardener tree fruit sale. https://hcmga.tamu.edu/files/2021/01/2021-HCMGA-Fruit-Tree-Handbook.pdf
Any of these varieties will grow well in our area.
We usually recommend not allowing the tree to set any fruit for at least the first 2-3 years after planting to allow the tree canopy to develop. You do not need additional trees for pollination. https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/
Thanks for the question.
