Just bought my first house and I am a clueless fuck when it comes to plants. There are a ton of different shrubs, flowers, grass, vines, etc. in my front and back yard and I literally can't identify a single thing except a tree that I think is an oak tree.
What is the best way to get rolling on identifying this stuff? I figure if I know what each thing is I can research info on how often to water and so forth. I don't want everything to die.
North Texas btw.
>pic related is the grass in the back yard

It's probably shitty Saint Augustine or Bermuda Grass. Saint Augustine in particular is a water guzzler and Bermuda is invasive as fuck. Kill it and plant something native. Tell your HoA to go fuck itself if need be.
As for plant ID, learn the major family characteristics and then work down from there.
Try this for some better plants to put in your garden:

Thanks for the advice. I definitely as a long-term goal want to further reduce the water-intensive plants around here. In the meantime I also want to keep what's already here from dying in case it turns out to be good
