I’m new to the south, and need to learn more about lawn care. Can anyone recommend some general tips or informative sites that can help me with lawn care?
Thanks!

No website, but I am in the same type of climate zone and will pass on our experiences.
I can recommend St. Augustine. It is low allergen compared to other grasses and it grows throughout the south very well – including Houston. It is a soft, wide blade grass, with a wonderful dense mat – read that as cool to the feet. It is fairly drought tolerant. It will go dormant in the winter, but greens up pretty quickly once the spring comes. Other low-allegern grasses are Rye and Blue Fescue – but, I have no personal experience with these. I think that the fescue is a cooler climate grass and will not do well with the drought-like summers of Houston.
If you have allergy problems, avoid Bermuda grass. It is another popular southern lawn grass. It survives the climate well though.
Bahai (spelling?) will grow like a weed, but it develops seed heads so fast that you will feel like you can never keep up with mowing. We have this grass intruding on our St. Augustine from the creekline. The St. Augustine will look like it doesn’t need mowing yet, while that Bahai will have 12 inch stalks with seed heads swaying in the breeze. Bahai is grown a lot around here by farmers who like the rapid growth for hay making. Yard owners consider it a pest grass.
