I don't know if Texas has a growing season like Ohio.
Ours is in spring and the bamboo jumps out of the ground and pops
up everywhere as it runs.

Clumping bamboo that we got still runs a bunch so take care.

BUT if you get the bamboo and or root in the spring it is more bendable it
seams.
When you flame it this will set the bamboo and it will not bend.
This in fact, flaming it, is part of how I get Bamboo, mostly rattan to keep
a shape.

The root in places will come out of the ground and go back in the ground to avoid a rock or other root even.
