Very good, any application in high temps of liquid or granular can burn. UK or USA
But still any advice should still consider species / soil type and environment. otherwise every plant on the planet would need the same as the next in conditions/ feed /water.
It would be the same as people who say I overseed with this type of grass so that is what my lawn is , but the site and the regime would never maintain that species of grass. its like planting a cactus in a bog garden.
It will determine the type of fertiliser you apply. I like to apply lime to my lawn because rye grass mixes generally don't appreciate acidic soil (although will still grow). Bents & Fescue grass conversley will like acidic soil so I wouldn't apply lime in that instance. Bents & Fescues also like sandy soil. Is your soil clay or sand? - I imagine in the heat of a Texan summer clay soil would bake hard? Maybe it's compacted? In which case aerate it. Does it get enough water? In other hot countries - like Australia, clover is a very popular choice of grass - it's tolerant of dry conditions, mows well & doesn't turn brown as readily as UK lawns.
I used to use granular feeds but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get the coverage even. There'd always be bits where I overlapped and bits I missed. Used to end up looking very patchy.
Last year I switched to miracle gro liquid feed using one of those miracle gro hose attachments. Did it once a month as per the instructions and the lawn looked superb. Blooming costly though doing it monthly. I only did my small back lawn every month. Front lawn, which is bigger was done twice, once in May and once in June.
