Infestation of this weed! Seeking a Resolution!

Afternoon everybody!

I am a newbie here and I am in need of some expertise on what weed this is? From my research, I am guessing this is Crabgrass, however, I have been told this could be Dallisgrass as well. I have attached some pictures below of the problematic weed in hopes to learn what the best way (organically) is to take care of this pesky weed that has taken over my backyard after aeration of my Bermuda grass this spring. I typically mow twice a week, however, I had surgery and was out of commission for 10 days and now I am dealing with an infestation. I also water infrequently once a week (we are currently in the high 80 degree range in Central Texas) until 1' of water is dispersed. I am eager to get out there and mow, which I normally mulch, but since I have this infestation I will probably end up bagging it.

Any thoughts?

Tex

Looks like dallisgrass. Paspalum dilatatum.
