Are you pollinating the flowers by hand?

Yes, I can believe that you sprouted seeds, and transplanted them. You are a determined person. Just wait till you can prepare some things to eat! You’ll feel even better.

I would think that somewhere in Texas you could get some fruit to grow. It kinda makes sense that they want to limit import for spread of diseases etc. but you should have something available in state I would think.

I will hand pollinate the tomato flowers. I just saw them open today so tomorrow I’ll use a cheap electric toothbrush to gently shake the back of the flowers and that will release the pollen. I’ll take a closer look at the flower to make sure it is opened well before I do that. I wasn’t inside the net room when I saw them.
