Hi and welcome to the Forum! Here's a little article about growing lilies with some instructions about planting and planting time:

And here's an article about which lilies grow best in Texas:

Lilies like very well draining soil, which is probably what you have. Add a bunch of compost for soil fertility and they will be very happy. But for TX conditions they probably want to be planted somewhere where they have some protection from the hot afternoon summer sun.
