Go to local meetups, search these forums for people that have mentioned that they do private lending and attend other RE events.

Beyond trying to connect on this forum would recommend look in the BP Meet up section and checking out local DFW FB RE investor Facebook groups as well as Meetup.com and Eventbrite for local events. 

Start small with duplexes or triplexes, analyze deals carefully, and build a team of local experts.
