Agnes, we live in Texas, too. Is your lawn yellow all over, in spots, or in circles? It really sounds to me that you used the fertilizer and then did not water your lawn enough. In other words, it burned. After fertilizing, you MUST water every day in 103 deg heat. I have lived in West Texas for 35 years and our lawns do get thirsty. If it is circles, it is grubs; there is an insecticide for that. In spots, I don't know. 😋 😘🌹 . Good luck
We're in North Texas and often go through drought conditions in high heat. Think of all-purpose fertilizers it this way: it's like taking a multivitamin for an iron deficiency. You get LOTS of things you really don't need and not enough of what you do need. Yellow (not dead) grass (or even tree foliage) is often do to iron deficiency. Try a small bag of timed-release Ironite (or similar product) and see if the situation improves. If it does, then you'll know what to do for the rest of the yard.
