Raised beds under mature oaks/hickories risk root suffocation if soil is added. East Texas rainfall may buffer this, but tread carefully. For dry shade: consult easttexasgardening.tamu.edu/shade.html. Surviving hostas and one azalea suggest marginal conditions.
Focus on tough dry-shade natives: Turk's cap, inland sea oats, coralberry, beautyberry, ferns. Mulch heavily. Water deeply but infrequently. Don't smother tree roots.
