Quoted:
In continuation of this, does Texas have anything similar to BLM land all over the west near Fort Worth (within an hour or so drive) that you can shoot on? I'm tired of ranges disallowing FMJ for no good reason.
After a few days searching I've come do discover the answer is 'probably not'. You apparently used to be able to do target shooting in one area of the caddo/lbj national grassland but that isn't allowed anymore. They mentioned that you could still shoot clays though.

Target Practice
Recreational rifle and pistol target shooting on the LBJ Grasslands is closed. On the LBJ’s western border, 380 acres are open to clay pigeon shooting with shotguns.
All other areas are closed to target shooting. Information on areas to sight in weapons may be available at district offices.
