Any State/Nat'l Parks Etc. to Shoot Around DFW?

Just like the topic says, I'm looking for the/any State or National Park around DFW that would allow my range buddies and I to road trip out to and shoot outdoors. The indoor/outdoor scene in the city is too crowded and restrictive - we'd like a place to head out to, maybe do some hiking, set up watermelons or cans or the like (we'll clean up, Scout's honor
) and do some shooting. Any suggestions?
(forgive me if I'm missing some obvious problem about the legality of shooting in State or Nat'l parks - I'm ashamed to admit it, but I know very little about the matter).

Parks are out of the question. We used to have some places in the Sam Houston Nat'l Forest where shooting was unofficially allowed, but the USFS closed them down.
The reality is the type of shooting you seek would have to be on private land.

This is the best I can find. From the LBJ Grasslands
website:
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.
